The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring a low-pressure area that has the potential to strengthen into the next hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
This agency reports that the new low-pressure area is located in the central Atlantic and may strengthen into a tropical depression and tropical storm in the central or western Atlantic by early next week.
The NHC's hurricane forecasters on Fox35's weather report predict a 30% chance that this low-pressure area will strengthen into a hurricane next week.
If this low-pressure area strengthens into a hurricane, it will be named Ernesto - the fifth hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
Currently, Hurricane Debby is still causing damage in several U.S. states until the end of the week. The hurricane is causing flooding on roads, trapping many people in their cars and homes.
Forecasters predict that Hurricane Debby will move northeast, exit North Carolina, and eventually leave the U.S. mainland. However, in the coming days, the hurricane will continue to bring heavy rain and flooding to the mountainous regions of Pennsylvania, northern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
In the context of complex weather conditions, travelers should regularly follow weather reports and warnings from official authorities.
If you have plans to visit areas that may be affected, such as Florida, the Carolinas, or the Northeastern United States, consider changing your itinerary or postponing your trip.
For those already in the affected area, strictly following local government evacuation instructions is crucial.
Keep in regular contact with family, friends, or your embassy in the host country to update your situation and receive support in emergency situations.
