Hurricane Jimena's Track In the Atlantic, a non-tropical system is currently located 500 miles south of Cape Cod, MA, moving to the northeast. The system does not appear to be acquiring any tropical characteristics.

Two other systems, both near the Cape Verde Islands, are not expected to show any signs of further development.
