An Atlantic depression initially brought deteriorating weather to the Azores, specifically affecting the Western and Central island groups. Forecasts indicated frequent precipitation, wind gusts between 50 and 60 km/h, and waves potentially reaching five meters in the westernmost islands.

By late September, weather patterns in the Atlantic intensified due to expected explosive cyclogenesis. The interaction of two depressions was forecasted to create a very deep low-pressure system, potentially bringing increased cloudiness, precipitation, and wind gusts of up to 70 km/h to the Azores starting September 27.
