New area to watch in eastern Atlantic

The Atlantic has produced five named storms but no hurricanes so far this season. 

Accumulated cyclone energy (the total energy of storms this season) is running about 94% below normal, making this one of the quietest seasons on record. However, there is a now a new area to watch in the eastern Atlantic that has a high 80% chance of developing into a tropical depression or tropical storm.  

The next name on the list is Fay and this would not be a threat to the United States.
