WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We are watching two areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin. As of now, neither looks to become a tropical cyclone in the next week.
The first low-pressure area near Bermuda will bring heavy rain to the island and dangerous surf.
The second tropical wave is off the west coast of Africa. This looks to have a more favorable track and area of development. A lot is still uncertain and the models are not in any agreement.

It is moving west-northwest 10-15 mph. We will learn a lot over the coming week.
"Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for some slow development of the system this weekend into early next week while it moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph," the NHC said Wednesday.
As it becomes more organized and nears the Leeward Islands, we will know more.
If this system does get a name, it would be Francine.
In the meantime, stay up to date with our own showers and storms we will be dodging in South Florida.
