NHC: Forecasters continue to monitor tropical wave in Atlantic

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking a tropical wave that formed hundreds of miles off the coast of the Windward Islands on Monday.

They said that the tropical wave is producing disorganized showers and a few thunderstorms. Further development is possible, as it has a 20 percent chance of formation over the next two to five days. By Thursday though, it will hit upper-level winds and become less conducive for further organization.

"It's one forecast model with one run, but I've seen this now repeatedly," he said. "Many days to assess but it is showing in the modeling."
