The NHC has begun monitoring a tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean that carries a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. While chances are low, they are not zero, and this wave could move into some favorable conditions. Development is possible mid- to late-week, but continue to stay weather-aware and stay tuned for updates on this area of interest.
