By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are closely monitoring Hurricane Nigel in the Atlantic.

Hurricane Nigel is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane on Tuesday.

As of this morning, Nigel was located some 935 miles East southeast of Bermuda.

Nigel is forecast to rapidly strengthen into a major hurricane on Tuesday.

 A gradual weakening trend could start late Wednesday.

Elsewhere in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, a tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa by Wednesday. 

A tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend while the system moves westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.

This system has a 70% chance of formation through the next 7 days.

In the Western Atlantic, a non-tropical area of low pressure is forecast to form near the southeastern coast of the United States late this week.
