Forecasters say there is a 40 percent chance of another cyclone developing. But at the moment, there are no indications another Ian is imminent.
As Florida begins recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Ian, forecasters are keeping an eye on a tropical front near the Caribbean Sea that is on track to possibly follow the early path of Ian.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Monday listed two disturbances it’s monitoring in the Atlantic Ocean, including westward-moving stormy weather that could develop into a tropical cyclone. While the center hasn’t sounded the alarm on another tropical storm, the forecast comes as Florida begins reckoning with the damage from Ian.
The NHC said it has recorded rain and thunderstorms from a tropical wave several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands, which are southeast of Puerto Rico. The rough weather from the tropical wave has “changed little in organization during the last several hours,” according to the NHC.
