The National Hurricane Center is keeping its eye on a system over the distant central Atlantic.
In the central subtropical Atlantic is an area of low pressure that has a 30% chance of becoming a subtropical or tropical storm in the next several days – but those chances are dwindling. Forecasters said the window for development is likely to end by Sunday as the system moves over much colder waters.
The NHC also said the winds associated with this system have decreased below gale force.
It could still acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next day or two as it moves toward the northeast at 15-20 mph, however, according to the NHC.
