In the tropics, we’re watching a couple of tropical waves which currently have a low chance of development. The first is in the eastern Caribbean but will move into the southeastern Bahamas by mid to late week. This wave will bring heavy rain to portions of the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola during the next day or so. The second wave is about 400 miles east of the Windward Islands. While upper level winds are forecast to limit development, this wave will bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the Lesser Antilles on Tuesday and the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
Finally, the low off the North Carolina coast is not expected to become a subtropical depression but it will bring heavy rain to the North Carolina Outer Banks for the next day or so.
