(Reuters) – There is a 50% chance that a non-tropical low pressure system 600 miles (966 kilometers) west-northwest of the westernmost Azores could strengthen into a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Thursday.
“Showers and thunderstorms have increased a little near the low, and it could become a subtropical or tropical cyclone while it moves generally southward over marginally warmer waters during the next couple of days,” the agency added.
