ANOTHER STORM? NHC tracking disturbance near where Helene formed | Tracking the Tropics

Days after Hurricane Helene slammed the southeast, NHC forecasters are tracking a disturbance in the Caribbean, not far from where the storm formed. How strong could it become and where is it going to go? On this edition of Tracking the Tropics, our team breaks down what they know about the disturbance and where it could be headed.

I love the "non-scripted" format of your coverage.

Good advice to re-stock your hurricane kit with items used up. Hopefully this one will not develop. 🙏

Man. I was in golf shores month ago. The water out there in the Gulf I swear water was 90 degrees. Water wasn't warm, it was hot!

It's more likely not that people don't listen... it's probably more likely they don't have the resources to leave. (Finances, family & friends special circumstances.. fuel & transportation, etc. can all be contributing factors that make it impossible to leave.) They also nay not be able to tolerate or ambulate at the other location.

It's fascinating how two models can be completely different. Euro tracked Helene very well, especially when it got toward Atlanta. GFS and National Hurricane Center were about 50-70 miles off as it passed through ATL, which is pretty critical. The Euro tracked it the furthermost east, which is where it ultimately went.

Hi Rebecca, I am not a meteorologist as you already know, and I am the first one not desiring a repeat on the hardest hit areas by hurricane Helene, but unfortunately the Gulf waters are still warm enough to create a major hurricane, and as it happened to us in Miami during the brutal hurricane season of 2005 when we got hit twice during the same season, first by hurricane Katrina and shortly after by hurricane Wilma, both of them major hurricanes, same thing could eventually happen to them on the hardest hit areas by Helene. I know is too early to say but yes, unfortunately chances are that those same areas might be again on the path of another major hurricane. I hope that won`t be the case, but I still recommend to the residents in areas such as the Folrida panhandle and surroundings to not let your gurds down yet. I would like to add that this isn`t by no means the final word on the areas of low pressure at this time boiling on the Gulf waters for them to become hurricanes, but this is rather my personal opinion based on my own prior experience on hurricanes I myself have been through ever since the years 2005 to present in the MIami area. My prayers are with all of those still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Helene, bst rgs

Lord we don’t need another storm. I live in North Carolina, our western part of the state can’t take anymore. Our mountains have lost lives and the devastation is horrific.

I will be in New Orleans Oct 12-15th. Think we will be ok by then?

She told you guys what was normal. It's not because it is normal. It's because she is teaching you something. I already said that because there was no alarm about these storms, next year all of this will be normal. Pay attention to what they are saying. They are bringing in specialized language that you will never be able to put your finger on. We're at least getting to Nadine

[patty]

Yay sweep of a coldfront just be grateful right

[RobbieOakley-ze]

God's in charge, time to humble ourselves and get ready.. no ones knows what's gonna happen or could happen..

[tabithahopp]

Oh now. Prayers to FL. Does anyone know how Shell Point Beach? Our family has been their the last two ywars passing through.

After seeing how Helene hit Tennessee, im a bit concerned living in the pandhandle 🙏

[patty]

60s i was concerned about blizzard or snowstorm upstate ny 😅

[certifymexs]

This is the new normal to be always on edge. I wish they would stop with they BS.These storms are doing record level of destruction.

[fadista]

24 minute mark--2 years since Ian is not a "long long time" since a major storm.

If you have a low sitting over that bathtub we refer to as the Gulf of Mexico for 8-10 days? I highly doubt its just going to whimper and go away peacefully.
