BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A tropical wave near the coast of Africa is showing signs it will merge with another disturbance over the next five days, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Experts at the National Hurricane Center say the tropical disturbance is carrying showers and thunderstorms, but it is expected to become more organized early next week as it moves northwest at 15 mph.

National Hurricane Center is projecting this system to become a tropical depression next week where environmental conditions are ripe for further development.

Currently, the system has a 70-percent chance at forming into a tropical depression in the next five days.

Should the system become a named storm, it would be called ‘Paulette’.
