All users, feel free to make your prediction here!

Tropical Outlook
For Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki:

"Invest 91H" A user by the name of "Callum Fawsitt" has come on HHW from another wiki. This "tropical wave" is located about 200 miles north of Bermuda. Due to cold waters, we do not expect this low pressure area to develop into a tropical cyclone, based on inactivity over the past day.


 * Formation chance within 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
 * Formation chance within 5 days...low...near 0 percent
