The National Hurricane Center in its 8 PM update now gives a tropical wave east of the Windward Islands a 40 percent chance of development.
Showers and thunderstorms are showing some signs of organization in association with a tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands, the NHC said.
Further development of the wave is possible, and a tropical depression could form during the next few days while it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph, reaching the Windward Islands and the eastern Caribbean Sea by midweek.
