Disorganized showers and thunderstorms extending from Hispaniola northward for a few hundred miles over the adjacent Atlantic waters are associated with a tropical wave interacting with an upper-level trough. This activity is forecast to spread westward or west-northwestward enhancing the rainfall across portions of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, and Florida into early next week. Strong upper-level winds are expected to prevent any development of this system during the next 2 to 3 days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)
