The one that has the highest chance for development is a newly formed tropical wave off the coast of west Africa.

There is only a 20% chance that that disturbance will organize, but that number could go up.

“We may be watching this for a while -- well into next week,” certified meteorologist George Waldenberger said. “Regardless, there is going to be a lot of uncertainty on if this system can form and then where it will go.”

Three un-developed systems on the NHC's roster...significant development of the one closest to Florida is unlikely, however, should increase our chance for rain into the weekend.

He said the disturbance in the Caribbean, known as 95L, has been monitored since last week but does not have much of a chance of development as it stays in the Caribbean, well south of Florida.

Waldenberger said the disturbance closest to Florida is a trough of low pressure.

“The chances of this showing significant organization are low, but as it moves closer to us, we should see an increase in rain Friday (and) into the weekend,” he said.
