Tropical Wave Could Strengthen Near Bahamas and U.S. East Coast After Traversing Atlantic (Video)

Despite struggling to gain organization in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic Ocean, AccuWeather hurricane experts say the tropical wave moving across the Atlantic could strengthen much closer to the U.S. next week.

“Atmospheric stability around the Main Development Region in the Atlantic Ocean has played a role in preventing tropical storm growth across the Atlantic all season long, and this wave is having the same struggles,” said AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva. “This is not El Niño related. The atmosphere is just more stable than it usually is.”

AccuWeather currently forecasts this region as having a high probability of developing into a tropical system this week, well east of the Lesser Antilles.

If that doesn’t occur, the wave will go through a stretch of dry air and wind shear. On the other side of that adverse stretch, a more favorable environment for development and intensification is expected near the Bahamas.

“The key is that there has to be something to develop,” DaSilva added. “If the wave just gets ripped apart by the shear near the Lesser Antilles, it may never develop. But, if the storm can stay together long enough, the conditions around the Bahamas could allow a storm to organize. It’s certainly worth monitoring if you live along the east coast of the U.S.”

If a storm develops, the next named storm for the 2026 Atlantic season would be Dolly.
