Summary
A new tropical depression has formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with forecasters predicting it could strengthen into a “formidable hurricane” in the coming days. Currently, the depression has sustained winds of 35 mph and is located approximately 630 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving westward at 9 mph.
As Hurricane Helene continues to cause significant destruction across the Southeastern United States, the emergence of this new tropical depression raises concerns about additional weather threats. The National Hurricane Center has indicated that the depression could develop into a hurricane by Wednesday, potentially complicating recovery efforts from Helene, which has already devastated several states, particularly North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina. With the ongoing hurricane season set to conclude on November 30, meteorologists are closely monitoring this new system as it could impact areas still reeling from recent storms.
