Hurricane center monitoring tropical wave as weekend begins

Wave given 40% chance for development over next 7 days

ORLANDO, Fla. – The National Hurricane Center is continuing to monitor a tropical wave in the Central Atlantic.

As of 8 p.m. Saturday, the NHC is giving it a 40% chance of further development over the next seven days.

This wave will likely interact with a second wave behind it as it moves toward the west-northwest.

Models are still varying from run-to-run about the future of this wave, but if it were to be factor in our weather, it wouldn’t be until next weekend into early next week.
