We are monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Right now, the main impact looks to be heavy rain for the Greater Antilles and the potential for additional moisture in our area late week. It is a disorganized cluster of showers and storms The wave has minimal chances of development over the next 5 days. It will have to overcome dry air and strong winds in order to organize.

It will take a general northwest track, moving over land which further limits its chance of development. Some models are moving the cluster of storms more west, others more north. The next few days do not look conducive to organization. We will continue to watch the wave as it could better organize once it gets to the Florida Straits and Bahamas this weekend.

You can enjoy your weekend worry free, at least where the tropics are concerned. No development is expected over the next 5 days. There are a few tropical waves but conditions are not conducive for organization. 

There is a wide swath of Saharan dust from the Atlantic into the Caribbean. The dry air inhibits tropical development.

Not only is dry air present but strong winds will also keep any storms from organizing.
