TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The National Hurricane Center is continuing to monitor a tropical wave in the central Atlantic, as it makes its way westward.
In a Sunday morning update, the system is showing signs of organization as it approaches the Lesser Antilles and Caribbean Sea.
Storms increase, but timing stays the same…
With slow development possible, the wave has a 10% chance of development over the next 48 hours and a 40% chance over the next seven days.
According to the NHC, the system is expected to move into the western Caribbean Sea, with a chance for a tropical depression to form.
In the far eastern Atlantic, there is a 20% chance of a wave developing after moving off the African coast with the possibility of slow development, but it doesn’t appear that it will impact the United States.
