Could the Atlantic see 2 tropical depressions this week?

The National Hurricane Center is keeping a close eye on two different disturbances in the Atlantic.

The first disturbance is located about 750 miles east of the Windward Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center.

This system has a 50 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours, the center says.

A Monday morning release said an Air Force Reserve aircraft was being sent to investigate the disturbance Monday afternoon.

The disturbance is expected to reach the Lesser Antilles late Tuesday or early Wednesday, bringing heavy rainful and gusty winds even if it doesn’t turn into a tropical depression.

Conditions will be less favorable for development once the system reaches the Lesser Antilles, according to the center.

An Accuweather meteorologist says dry air and wind shears have kept a depression from developing so far.

A second disturbance is stirring 800 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, the center says.

This disturbance is expected to track west-northwest or northwest, according to the hurricane center.

The center has given this disturbance a 20 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours and a 30 percent chance of developing in the next 5 days.
