ORLANDO, Fla. — A tropical wave is emerging off the coast of Africa, with disorganized showers and storms developing in the eastern Atlantic.
Saharan dust has been preventing tropical development, but models indicate a potential gap in the dust next week that could allow the wave to develop further.
As of Friday morning, the area has a 40% chance of tropical development.
Meteorologists will be monitoring this wave closely through the weekend and into next week.
