The National Hurricane Center is expecting to see the 18th tropical depression of the year by as early as Wednesday afternoon, it said in the 2 p.m. EDT update.
Meanwhile, tropical depressions Peter and Rose seemed to almost be joined together at the hip as they entered the Atlantic together. They degenerated together and they may dissipate together too.
First, a tropical wave southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands has better circulation and is becoming more defined, the NHC said. The system is moving west at about 10 to 15 mph and heading into an ideal environment of tropical growth where the NHC says it has a 100% chance of becoming a tropical depression, and could do so by Wednesday afternoon.
