Minimal Chance of Development for Tropical Wave in Atlantic

It is looking less likely a tropical wave in the Atlantic will develop. The wave originated off the coast of Africa and has struggled to get organized the past several days. As it moves west heading towards the Lesser Antilles, it will encounter dry air and pockets of strong wind shear. Both are elements that minimize development in tropical systems.  The National Hurricane Center only gives it a 20% of development the next 2 days and 30% over the next 5 days. We will continue to monitor it, but the main impact will be heavy rain for parts of the Caribbean.
