Right on cue, there are actually three areas currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. Two of them are located way out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and have a medium chance of developing.The area farthest west has a 50% chance of developing while the other disturbance has a 40% chance of tropical development over the next week.
