While the start of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Center is still months away, the National Hurricane Center today announced they are tracking a disturbance in the Atlantic.

According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), a  non-tropical area of low pressure located about 700 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.  At this time, this disturbance is producing gale-force winds along with a  large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

“Additional development of this low is not expected as it moves northward to northwestward into an environment of strong upper-level winds and dry air tonight and Tuesday,” the NHC said in a special Tropical Outlook today. The NHC says there’s only a 10% chance that this system will develop into a tropical cyclone over the next 5 days.

No additional Special Tropical Weather Outlooks are scheduled for this system unless conditions warrant.

Regularly scheduled Tropical Weather Outlooks will resume on May 15, 2025 two weeks ahead of the Atlantic Hurricane Season which begins on June 1. However, the NHC says they will issueSpecial Tropical Weather Outlooks whenever  necessary during the remainder of the off-season.
