The National Hurricane Center has highlighted a region stretching from the Caribbean islands eastward into the open Atlantic for the possibility of tropical cyclone development over the next week. However, forecasters caution that there are conflicting signals on whether a disturbance in the area will ever become organized.

The energy that is expected to make up the tropical wave is forecast to leave the coast of Africa by Friday before traversing the Atlantic over the next couple of weeks.

Due to how much organization the tropical disturbance will need, quick intensification is not expected over the next week, despite warm sea surface temperatures.

So far, the NHC is simply going with a low chance of development within the next seven days.
