The system could take two possible paths -- either northern (as Helene and Milton did) or southern. (See the first image above.)
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Leslie is in the open waters of the Atlantic about 1,000 miles west from the Azores. It's projected direction is to the north-northeast, and it's expected to weaken in the coming days.
Another potential area for development is several hundred miles from the Cabo Verde Islands in West Africa (marked with an X in the second image above).
It could become a tropical depression or storm as soon as by the end of the day Saturday, Oct. 12 or Sunday, Oct. 13.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season runs through Saturday, Nov. 30.
The next named storms will be Nadine and Oscar.
