Developing System

On Monday, the tropical disturbance causing widespread showers and thunderstorms in the central tropical Atlantic Ocean intensified into Potential Tropical Cyclone 2 and is expected to become Tropical Storm Bonnie.

Potential Tropical Cyclone 2 is now situated around 590 miles east of Trinidad, according to the NHC's forecast for Monday night.

The system is now anticipated to pass close to or over Trinidad and Tobago late tomorrow or early Wednesday. On its current path, it will arrive in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Atlantic Hurricane Season

The Atlantic hurricane season is the time of year from June to November when hurricanes are most likely to form in the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions are the names of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic. Furthermore, some storms have occurred over the years that were not tropical and are classified as subtropical depressions and subtropical storms. While subtropical storms and depressions are not as powerful as tropical cyclones, the consequences can be disastrous.

Storm's Trajectory

Because the storm travels swiftly east to west, the strongest winds will be on its right flank. This means that, regardless of how highly structured the circulation gets, mountainous islands north of the storm track will experience the greatest winds and heaviest rain.

Everyone in the southern Caribbean must keep up to date.

A strong high-pressure ridge spanning the Atlantic and the Gulf will restrict the storm to the south. It's unclear whether it'll track just offshore of Venezuela and Colombia or whether the South American mainland would disturb the system as it passes.

By late week, computer forecast models predict that the storm will make landfall in Central America, potentially as a hurricane.

Meanwhile, Tropical Disturbance No. 1 is a persistent but unorganized region of disturbed weather near the northern Gulf coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The system is heading west-southwest at 10 mph into the northwest Gulf of Mexico and is expected to hit the shores of south Texas and northeast Mexico in the coming days.

Computer forecast models agree that the wide disturbance will move toward the south Texas coast as a cold front approaches from the north. It does not look to become extremely powerful, but there is a probability that it may organize into at least a tropical depression during the following several days.

This disturbance, along with an oncoming cold front, will cause widespread rain throughout the northern Gulf coast this week.

Making Landfall

This disturbance, along with an oncoming cold front, will cause widespread rain throughout the northern Gulf coast this week.

Tropical Disturbance No. 2 is lurking behind the first Atlantic system. This disorganized system will likely pursue a more northerly path toward the Caribbean. That means it'll hit dry air and strong higher winds.

According to the NHC, it has a 20% probability of developing before hitting the northeastern Caribbean islands in a few days.
