BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a strong tropical wave located several hundred miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands.

This system is maintaining a large but disorganized area of shower and thunderstorm activity.

Some development of this system is possible during the next few days as strong upper-level winds will limit the chance for formation.

However, the tropical wave is expected to move through the Central Tropical Atlantic Ocean late this week which is more conducive for development.

National Weather Service gives the system a 20 percent chance for further development over the next five days.
