Hurricane Epsilon now a major hurricane, continues to close in towards Bermuda as it meanders in the Atlantic

Epsilon is the 27th tropical system of the 2020 Hurricane Season.

Thankfully Epsilon is in the central Atlantic and projected to stay in the central Atlantic not threatening the East Coast of the United States. Late Thursday night Epsilon will approach Bermuda as a Category 2 hurricane, but a direct hit to the island is not anticipated. After passing east of Bermuda, it will turn eastward into the north-central Atlantic.

Beyond Epsilon, there is one spot we are watching in the Northwest Caribbean that has a 20% chance for development. If something were to form it would drift towards the Bahamas this weekend.
