Things are Heating Up in the Atlantic

Two areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic Ocean are being watched for potential development.

The first is stretching from Puerto Rico to the southeastern Bahamas.

This system will deliver heavy rainfall over portions of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas and Florida.

The system only has a low chance, about 10 percent, of developing.

Secondly is a broad area of shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave located several hundred kilometers southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.

No development is imminent, however, environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development over the weekend and a tropical depression could form by early next week.
