While Eta loses steam and becomes an extratropical low, a tropical wave in the southern Caribbean is gaining strength and is likely to become the 30th named storm of the 2020 hurricane season.
The wave has become better organized Friday morning in an area where environmental conditions are favorable for development, the National Hurricane Center said in its 7 a.m. update. The wave has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical depression or a tropical storm in the next two to five days. Although, the NHC predicts it could become a tropical depression by Friday afternoon or night.
