    Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, but is most active from August to October.

    Less than a week after Hurricane Milton slammed into Florida, the National Hurricane Center in Miami is tracking another “area of ​​active weather” west of the Cabo Verde Islands in the Atlantic that has a low chance of forming this week.

    The NHC is “keeping an eye on low pressure area AL94,” Anthony Reynes, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, told USA TODAY Monday morning.

    Reynes called the system a “potential storm” but noted the chances of it forming this week are slim.

    “This system is currently in an adverse environment and development is not expected in the next few days,” the NHC said in a statement.

    According to the NHC, AL94 has a 10% chance of forming within the next 48 hours and a 40% chance of forming within the next 7 days.

    Where is AL94 heading?

    According to the NHC, AL94 is expected to move west or west-southwest in the coming days. In the middle or end of the week, the environment could become more favorable for a gradual development.

    A tropical depression could form as AL94 moves west-northwestward toward the end of the week and approaches the Leeward Islands, about 350 miles southeast of Puerto Rico.
