Forecasters are, once again, monitoring the remnants of Tropical Storm Fay for potential redevelopment before the end of the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Fay initially formed on Sept. 20 in the subtropical Central Atlantic and degenerated a few days later. It regained tropical-storm status on Sept. 24, then weakened again, but days later restrengthened into a tropical storm for a third time.

Fay degenerated again on Tuesday, but, by Thursday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center was again monitoring its remnants.

An area of low pressure several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda is associated with Fay’s remnants, and thunderstorm activity increased from Wednesday, the hurricane center’s latest advisory said.

Still, ”dry air and strong upper-level winds are expected to prevent significant re-development while it moves northwestward, to the east of Bermuda,” forecasters said Thursday afternoon. “Any formation chances should end by Sunday due to very strong upper-level winds.”

The National Hurricane Center has given the system a 10% chance of developing within the next two to seven days.

So far in the Atlantic this season, no hurricanes have formed. It is the first time no hurricanes have formed prior to Oct. 1 in the satellite observation era, which began in 1966.

Hurricane season ends Nov. 30. The next storm to form would be Isaias.
