“A broad, low-latitude tropical wave located more than 800 miles east of French Guiana is producing a large area of cloudiness and disorganized thunderstorms,” stated NHC Forecaster Stacy Stewart. “Some slight development of this system is possible over the next couple of days before upper-level winds become unfavorable around mid-week, prior to the disturbance reaching the northeastern coast of South America.”
Per NHC, the wave is expected to move westward at about 15 mph during the next few days.
