In the tropics, we continue to keep an eye on the wave in the central Atlantic.  The National Hurricane Center now gives it a low chance of becoming a depression during the next five days after it moves through the Windward Islands and enters the Caribbean.

Elsewhere, the wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression in a day or so, but it’s forecast to remain far from land.
