WEST PALM BEACH, Fla — In the Atlantic, we're watching a tropical wave near the Cabo Verde Islands that, for now, has a 40% chance of developing.
Long-term models do spin up the next tropical cyclone by mid-week.
"Conditions are expected to become more conducive for development early next week, and a tropical depression could form while it approaches the Lesser Antilles," the National Hurricane Center said.
The NHC said the system is forecast to move generally west-northwestward and could approach the Greater Antilles by the middle of next week.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Debby made a second landfall into South Carolina early Thursday morning. Debby will move through North Carolina tonight, spreading more heavy rain in that direction.
Currently, it has winds of 40 mph. It will start to weaken in time.
By tomorrow, Debby dissipates into a tropical depression and eventually, it will work its way across the northeast and into southeastern Canada over the next several days.
By the weekend, Debby is no longer a tropical system, just a remnant low as it spreads rainfall and gusty winds into the Canadian Maritimes.
