Hurricane watchers monitor potential threat

A new tropical system is likely to develop in the Atlantic after a wave off Africa's coast, with a 70% chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm by late August. Forecasters are uncertain if it will survive the harsh wind shear caused by El Niño conditions, which typically reduce hurricane activity. If it strengthens, it could be named Dolly and potentially impact the U.S. or Caribbean during early September. Despite El Niño's generally lower hurricane risk, landfalling storms remain possible.
