Of course, there is another one, coming off the coast of Africa.. Carol Hill

Both of these features recently emerged off the coast of Africa as tropical waves do, and both are in an environment that favors the further strengthening of the systems in the next several days. Waters in that region of the Atlantic Ocean are sufficiently warm (at or above 78 F) for tropical development, wind shear is currently low, and there is not a tremendous amount of dry air and dust in the vicinity, according to Kottlowski. "Both systems have a high chance of becoming tropical depressions and storms later this week, and in this case, the next two names on the list for the 2021 season will be used," Kottlowski said. If the systems strengthen enough to become named tropical storms, the National Hurricane Center will name them Victor and Wanda. [color:#CC0000]"However, since both systems are likely to enter a wall of wind shear as they move across the Atlantic starting around this weekend, the organization and strengthening process may not last very long," Kottlowski said.
