The National Hurricane Center (NHC, for its acronym in English), based in Miami, warned this Tuesday about an area of low pressure in the central tropical Atlantic that has a 90% chance of developing into a depression or tropical storm in the next two days.

The system, identified as AL92, is located approximately halfway between the Windward Islands and the west coast of Africa, and has shown an increase in rain organization and thunderstorms since Monday.

Environmental conditions are favorable for its development as it moves west-northwest or northwest at an estimated speed of 10 to 15 miles per hour (16 to 24 km/h), according to the NOAA bulletin.

If it continues to evolve, the phenomenon could become the next named cyclone of the 2025 season in the Atlantic, although for now it does not pose a direct threat to land.

On the other hand, a tropical wave emerging off the African coast is also being monitored, although its chances of development are low.

The NHC assigns less than a 20% chance of formation in the next seven days as it moves westward at 15 to 20 miles per hour (24 to 32 km/h).

Meteorological authorities urge people to stay informed through official sources regarding any possible changes in the trajectory or intensity of these systems.
