A low-pressure trough near Bermuda could become a tropical depression in the next few days, according to experts with the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Fay, after degenerating last Tuesday, redeveloped into a tropical storm on Thursday evening. But by late Sunday morning it was once again a tropical depression located far east of Bermuda. Fay is expected to continue to slowly weaken over the next few days and does not present any threats to land.

Meanwhile, the trough of low pressure, located east of Bermuda on Sunday, lacks a closed circulation. It has been given a 50% chance of developing in the next two days and a 60% chance in the next seven days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The trough could become a tropical depression in the early to middle part of the week, the hurricane center said in its latest advisory. It forecast to move north then east over the central subtropical Atlantic.

This hurricane season has broken a 112-year record now that the Atlantic has gone without a hurricane through Sept. 21, experts said.

“If this year’s Atlantic season has no hurricanes by Nov. 30, that will be only the third such season on record, preceded by 1914 and 1907,” AccuWeather reported.

Due to a strong El Niño, this is a well-below-average hurricane season that has produced just seven tropical storms and no hurricanes. Hurricane season, which runs through Nov. 30, passed its statistical peak on Sept. 10.

The next storm to form in the Atlantic would be Hanna.
