Disturbance 3: Emerging off of Africa
A robust tropical wave is expected to emerge off the coast of west Africa by the middle of next week. Environmental conditions appear somewhat conducive for gradual development toward the end of next week as the system moves west-northwestward to northwestward.
There will be a higher likelihood of development later next week, but the system looks to curve out-to-sea in the central Atlantic.
The National Hurricane Center gives this disturbance a 70 percent chance to develop over the next five days.
The next names for the 2021 hurricane season are Julian, Kate and Larry.
