For Tropical Depression Six, the latest forecast does not identify a land-based rainfall or flooding hazard. The system is over the open Atlantic and the National Hurricane Center lists no hazards affecting land.
What Is the Rainfall Situation?
Tropical cyclones can produce heavy rain even when winds are not extreme, but the location of the rain shield matters. Tropical Depression Six is currently far from the U.S. coastline and the Azores, so the immediate flooding concern is low based on the current official advisory.
Could the Rainfall Forecast Change?
Yes. Tropical convection can reorganize quickly, and a shift in the forecast track can change where rain falls. Rainfall forecasts should be checked alongside the latest track and advisory.
What Areas Should Monitor the Storm?
Marine interests in the eastern Atlantic should continue following official updates. For residents of the continental United States, the current advisory does not identify a direct rainfall threat from this system.
Flooding and Tropical Storms
When a tropical cyclone approaches land, rainfall risk depends on moisture, terrain, forward speed and how long the circulation remains over an area. Those factors are not currently creating a U.S. land hazard from Tropical Depression Six.
