Tropical Wave from Africa Draws Attention of Hurricane Forecasters.
TL;DR
A tropical wave moving across the Atlantic has a low chance of development over the next week, but environmental conditions may be conducive to gradual development. It is rare to see tropical development in this area during June, with fewer than ten storms forming in this region since records began in 1851. The combination of water temperatures resembling August and September and weak winds in the upper atmosphere are contributing factors. Environmental conditions closer to home are not as favorable for development, but it is too early to determine its path.
