Hurricane Central is focused on two Atlantic systems Nash Rhodes has watched for the past few days. Tropical Depression Fay has weakened from tropical storm status, while a disturbance just east of Bermuda now carries a 40% chance of development over the next seven days.
Nash Rhodes and Tropical Depression Fay
As of the 11 a.m. advisory, Fay had sustained winds of about 35 mph and was meandering south. The depression is expected to fizzle out in the middle of the Atlantic by next week, keeping the system away from the U.S.
FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes has been monitoring the two areas in the middle of the Atlantic over the past few days. That stretch of the basin matters now because the season started slowly, and the focus has shifted to whether either system can hold together long enough to change the forecast.
Bermuda Disturbance and Seven Days
The second area of low pressure sits just east of Bermuda and is moving slowly north and east. The National Hurricane Center gives it a 40% chance of development over the next seven days, a short window that keeps the system on watch without pushing it into stronger certainty.
That system does not appear likely to affect the U.S., leaving the practical concern centered on forecast monitoring rather than a land threat. Hurricane Nolo has strengthened to a Category 4 storm, heavy rain is expected across the Hawaiian Islands, and things are looking fairly quiet across the Gulf and Caribbean.
The immediate takeaway is simple: Fay is weakening out, and the Bermuda disturbance still needs time to organize. If the low holds together while moving north and east, the next seven-day forecast will decide whether it stays a minor Atlantic watch item or becomes the system worth following more closely.
