ORLANDO, Fla. — A new tropical wave emerged over the mid-Atlantic Wednesday morning with odds of becoming the subsequent tropical depression or storm, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 2 p.m. EDT update. Meanwhile, hurricane specialists are waiting on another wave to roll off the African coast and have increased its odds of development.
The newly emerged wave is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. It has a 20% chance of growing more organized and stronger within the next five days, the NHC said. Atlantic conditions are expected to be marginally better for slow development east of the Lesser Antilles by Sunday and into early next week.
The wave is pushing west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
