The Next Hurricane Might Appear in These Three Places, National Hurricane Center Says

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking the next hurricane, with potential development in three areas across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The next named tropical storm, if it does develop, would be called Patty. Much of the attention for any upcoming storm has been paid to several regions in the Caribbean, and as reported on Thursday, experts are concerned that several systems could spin up toward the United States. Here’s where the next hurricane might develop in the first week of November 2024.

Where could the next hurricane appear?

There are three disturbances that could turn into the next hurricane in early November according to the NHC, with a system in the Caribbean having the highest chance of turning into a named storm.

In a report at 1:35 PM EDT on Friday, November 1, the NHC is tracking an area in the Southwestern Caribbean Sea, otherwise known as the Caribbean gyre, north of Costa Rica. A tropical depression is “likely to form late this weekend of early next week,” though even if it doesn’t, heavy rains will continue to pelt the western Caribbean. It has a 30% chance of forming into a named storm over two days and a 70% chance of forming over the next week.

Another area of interest is a trough of low pressure hovering near Puerto Rico that has already produced showers and thunderstorms in the area. There’s only a 10% chance of this developing into a named storm, over the next two or seven days.

Even so, meteorologist Brian Shields, aka Mr. Weatherman on YouTube, is more concerned that this system will cause flash flooding and mudslides in Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

Last but not least is a low-pressure system in the North Atlantic several hundred miles west of Europe. Since this is moving eastward toward the Azores, it won’t impact the United States, but it has a 40% chance of forming into the next tropical storm over the next two days.
