TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -- Today on Tracking the Tropics, WFLA meteorologists Amanda Holly and Rebecca Barry sit down with Dr. Michael Brennan, Director of the National Hurricane Center, as peak hurricane season gets underway.
The NHC is responsible for issuing forecasts, watches and warnings ahead of tropical development to keep people safe and to help prepare infrastructure, property and commerce for oncoming storms.
The conversation will be streamed live in the video player above at 12:30 p.m. ET/11:30 a.m. CT.
Looking to the tropics, the NHC is monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic that could slowly develop this weekend into early next week as it drifts west-northwestward. Its chance of formation within the next 48 hours is near-zero and its chance of formation over the next seven days is about 20%.
There are signs the tropics will start to get more active over the next few weeks. Tropical waves will exit the coast of Africa into more favorable conditions, as is expected during peak hurricane season.
