Summary
About 525 miles southeast of the Azores, Tropical Depression Six prompted National Hurricane Center advisories Saturday with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and a northward drift at 2 mph.
The depression is forecast to strengthen into a tropical storm within 24 hours before gradually weakening early next week; if named, it would become Fay.
The system poses no threat to land or the United States, and the rest of the Atlantic is expected to stay quiet with no new development over the next seven days.
Five named storms have formed so far this season with no hurricanes yet, marking the latest point the Atlantic has ever gone without a hurricane; the season ends Nov. 30.
