The NHC continued to monitor a tropical wave in the Atlantic that could slowly develop this weekend into early next week as it drifts west-northwestward. Its chance of formation within the next 48 hours is near-zero and its chance of formation over the next seven days is about 20%.
There are signs the tropics will start to get more active over the next few weeks. Tropical waves will exit the coast of Africa into more favorable conditions, as is expected during peak hurricane season.
