A broad area of low pressure was forming in the central and western Atlantic Wednesday morning and the system could further develop, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said.
The system was forming along a remnant frontal boundary a few hundred miles south of Bermuda as of 7 a.m. Wednesday. There is no threat to Louisiana.
NHC forecasters Philippe Papin and Richard Pasch said the system was facing conditions that could support it gradually developing subtropical characteristics through the weekend as it slowly moves east.
However, the system’s chances of development should stop by early next week as conditions become less favorable.
Forecasters gave the system a medium 50% chance of forming into a tropical depression or storm over the next week and a low 30% chance of developing within two days.
The disturbance is being tracked late into a historically quiet 2026 hurricane season, where El Niño conditions have contributed to the low number of named storms.
