The National Hurricane Center continue to track a system in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean with a small chance to become a subtropical depression or storm.

In its 8 a.m. Tuesday tropical outlook, forecasters continue to state a non-tropical area of low pressure located between the Azores and Canary Islands producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms and gale-force winds could develop some subtropical characteristics in the next couple of days.

“This system could acquire some subtropical characteristics during the next day or so while it meanders to the east and southeast of the Azores,” the outlook stated. “By late Wednesday, the system is forecast to move northeastward over cooler waters, and further development is not expected.”

Forecasters give it only a 10% chance of formation in the next two to seven days.

Either way, it’s expected to bring heavy rains and gusty winds to parts of the Canary Islands, Madeira Island, and the Azores.

If it formed, it could become the year’s third tracked system following last week’s formation of Tropical Storm Arlene in the Gulf of Mexico at the start of the Atlantic hurricane season as well as an unnamed subtropical storm identified by the NHC from January.

The hurricane season runs from June 1-Nov. 30.
