A disturbance in the Atlantic has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression by early next week, the National Hurricane Center says. Forecasters said on Friday afternoon that the area of low pressure located roughly halfway between West Africa and South America is still disorganized, but conditions over the next few days are favorable for development into a tropical system. “Although there is dry air located to the north of the system, favorable upper-level winds are expected to allow for gradual development during the next several days,” said NHC forecasters. The area shaded in the graphic above is not a track, but an expected area for the disturbance to develop. Tracks are reserved for tropical storms and hurricanes. The system is expected to move westward, with a 60% chance for it to become a tropical depression in the next week.
