ABC 7 is closely monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic over the next week for development.
Chances for development are 0 percent over the next two days but up to 50 percent over the next seven. The disturbance is a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde islands.
Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized for now, but a tropical depression may form next week as the disturbance approaches the Lesser Antilles.
The next name on the list is Ernesto. It is far too early to determine the long-range track or intensity so be sure to frequently check back into the forecast.
This is the only area of interest at this time. With nearly a month away from the statistical peak of hurricane season, the Atlantic Basin is likely to become more active.
