The wave, which is located roughly 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, continues to show signs of organization.
The NHC said it’s expected to move westward at 15 to 20 mph across the central tropical Atlantic as it gradually develops.
“The good news is that it’s expected to turn to the north several hundred miles east of Florida,” Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Eric Stone said.
