Tropical Update
Tracking a well-defined tropical wave over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the northern Leeward Islands. Development of this system is unlikely during the next couple of days while it moves WNW over portions of the Greater Antilles. Environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development after the wave passes the Greater Antilles. A tropical depression could form this weekend or early next week over the eastern Gulf of Mexico or far southwestern Atlantic Ocean, near Florida.
