MIAMI — The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean.

Forecasters said this area of disturbed weather over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave during the next several days.

TRACKING THE TROPICS: Hurricane Center | Hurricane Guide

Some development of this system will be possible as it moves west across the Atlantic.
Environmental conditions are forecast to become conducive for some development in a day or two, and a tropical depression could form around midweek while the system is near or over the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles or southwestern Atlantic Ocean.

The chance for tropical formation over the next seven days is 40%.
Models are still at odds regarding any potential development/organization of this wave and its track this far out. Will continue to monitor.
