The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October.
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Fri Oct 27 2023
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Northwestern Atlantic (Post-Tropical Cyclone Tammy):
A strong extratropical cyclone (formerly Tammy) associated with an occluded front is located a few hundred miles east of Bermuda. This system is forecast to become separated from the front later today, and environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive over the northwestern Atlantic to the east of Bermuda through Saturday. Regardless of tropical redevelopment, the system is likely to bring gusty winds and heavy rainfall to Bermuda during the next couple of days. Interests on Bermuda should monitor the progress of this system. For additional information, including storm and gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service and products from the Bermuda Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
2. Western Caribbean Sea:
A broad area of low pressure is forecast to develop over the southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next few days. Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system early next week while it moves generally northward over western or central portions of the basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
