Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene have both made their way through Florida and left behind damage in their wake.
Disney World closed all of its theme parks, water parks, and more for the first time in years as Milton made its way over the Orlando area. Luckily, the damage to Disney World was mostly minimal, and people were safe at their hotels. Hopefully, the area can get a break from these massive storms, but it is now clear that the National Hurricane Center is once again monitoring an area of interest in the Central Tropical Atlantic.

According to the National Weather Service in Tampa Bay on X, it is too soon to know where AL94 will go if it develops, but it is currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. According to the NHC, this area of low pressure is located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, and it has a 10% chance of formation through the next 48 hours and a 50% chance through the next 7 days.
At this point, it’s too early to know if it will develop or where it might go if it does. However, it’s an important area to keep in mind over the next few days as recovery efforts continue post-Milton and Helene.

Now is not the time to panic about this shaded orange area.
It is still TOO EARLY to tell where this one will go or how strong it will be, IF it even develops.
Focus on today, and your recovery efforts.

There is a chance that a tropical depression could form and approach the Leeward Islands late this week. It it does develop into a tropical storm, it will be Tropical Storm Nadine. But it is still early in the process, so keep your eyes on the weather the next few days.
The Tampa Bay National Weather Service recommends continuing your recovery efforts as we watch to see how this new area of interest plays out. If you are planning to be in Disney World later this week or early next week, be sure to keep up with the weather forecast and come prepared with rain gear such as umbrellas, rain coats, and shoe covers.
