## Atlantic Systems Under Watch
Forecasters monitor two Atlantic areas with low development chances, including a system near Azores with 20% chance of forming within 48 hours.
## Atlantic Development Chances
The National Hurricane Center reports a 30 percent chance of development for Atlantic systems over the next seven days, with conditions expected to worsen next week.
## Pacific Systems Under Watch
The National Hurricane Center tracks three Pacific systems, including two likely to become tropical depressions within a week, with one system having an 80 percent chance of formation.
## Pacific Development Chances
A disturbance in the Pacific has an 80 percent chance of forming a tropical depression by next weekend, with environmental conditions favorable for development.
## El Niño Impact on Hurricanes
El Niño conditions typically reduce Atlantic hurricane activity but increase Pacific tropical storm formation, according to NOAA's seasonal outlook.
## Key takeaway

The National Hurricane Center monitors two Atlantic systems with 30% development chance and three Pacific systems, including one with 80% chance of tropical depression formation.
