A low pressure system near Bermuda has very little chance of developing into a tropical storm — meaning Floridians can breathe slightly easier, even as they brace for the impacts of Hurricane Milton.
The system — which would be named Nadine if it developed into a tropical storm — is bringing thunderstorms and heavy rain to the waters about 300 miles southwest of Bermuda and has been fluctuating between a 20% and 40% chance of developing into a cyclone.
But forecasters from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are giving it a 30% chance of developing further in the next 48 hours — and say the odds are diminishing by the hour.
“Upper-level winds are expected to become too strong for further development tonight or into Thursday,” NHC said in its report at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Nadine after Milton? Low-pressure storm system near Bermuda unlikely to develop into cyclone
Even if the storm does develop into Nadine, Americans on the mainland have little to worry about — the system is headed east and straight out into the Atlantic Ocean.
