Tropical wave becomes less organized; more rain heads to Orlando area

Major cooldown coming to Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – A tropical wave in the Atlantic now has a much smaller chance of becoming a named storm.

The National Hurricane Center on Tuesday said the system has a 30 percent chance of tropical development over the next five days, down from 90 percent a day prior.

"Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the tropical wave, which is moving through the Leeward Islands, has continued to become less organized," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "Environmental conditions are not expected to become significantly better for development."

The next named storm will be called Patty.

Hurricane season officially ends at the end of November.
