BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave that is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Leeward Islands, and the adjacent waters of the southwestern Atlantic and northeastern Caribbean Sea.
Current models show the system has a 60-percent chance of forming into a tropical depression over the next seven days.
Experts say the development of this system is not anticipated during the next few days while it moves west-northwestward over portions of the Greater Antilles.
However, environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development after the wave passes the Greater Antilles, and a tropical depression could form this weekend or early next week over the eastern Gulf of Mexico or far southwestern Atlantic Ocean, including in the vicinity of Florida.
People in the Greater Antilles, Bahamas, and Florida should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
