Former Hurricane Tammy has high chance of restrengthening into tropical storm
The National Hurricane Center is tracking two disturbances in the tropics this morning and chances are high that a tropical storm will develop in the Atlantic Ocean.
Former Hurricane Tammy has a 70 percent chance of restrengthening into a tropical storm later today or Saturday, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.
The newest disturbance out there is a broad area of low pressure in the southwestern Caribbean. Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system over the next 48 hours and into next week.

Dozens killed after Hurricane Otis hits Mexico as Category 5 storm
Recovery is underway in Mexico after Hurricane Otis slammed into Acapulco as one of the strongest storms on record to hit the country from the Pacific.
Dozens were killed as the Category 5 storm struck Wednesday with 165-mph winds.
Thousands have been stranded without power, communications and clean water. The outages have impacted officials' ability to survey the damage.
Otis intensified rapidly, leaving officials and residents with little time to prepare. Otis grew from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in 12 hours, according to AccuWeather.

Here's the latest update from the NHC as of 8 a.m. Oct. 27:
What's out there and how likely are they to strengthen?
Post-Tropical Cyclone Tammy: A strong extratropical cyclone (formerly Tammy) associated with an occluded front is located a few hundred miles east of Bermuda.
This low is forecast to become separated from the front soon, and conditions appear favorable for the system to redevelop into a tropical storm later today or Saturday.
Formation chance through 48 hours: high, 70 percent.
Formation chance through 7 days: high, 70 percent.
Area of low pressure: A broad area of low pressure is forecast to develop over the southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next few days.
Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system early next week while it moves generally northward.
Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent.
Formation chance through seven days: low, 30 percent.
Who is likely to be impacted?
Post-Tropical Cyclone Tammy: Regardless of tropical redevelopment, the system is likely to bring gusty winds to Bermuda during the next day or so, and a gale warning is in effect for the island.
Forecasters urge all residents to continue monitoring the tropics and to always be prepared.
