Tropical wave off Africa has high chance of development.

Unusually warm sea surface temperatures and favorable wind conditions in the Atlantic are leading computer models to predict the formation of a tropical storm or hurricane in the region earlier than usual, with the National Hurricane Center giving the disturbance a medium chance of forming by next week. However, the chance of the system tracking towards the Caribbean, Bahamas, or the US is low due to weaker trade winds and the influence of a dip in the jet stream over the western Atlantic Ocean.
