Meteorologist George Waldenberger said officials are watching an approaching tropical wave that could interact with that cluster of disturbed weather.

He said there is a 30% chance of tropical development over the next 7 days.

Through early next week, some organization of this system is possible as heads toward the Caribbean or Southwestern Atlantic, likely the Greater and Lesser Antilles.

If it does approach, Waldenberger said officials will be monitoring it late next week to determine a possible track and the potential for further organization.

More tropical waves will follow as we head into August, a time when tropical activity typically ramps up, Waldenberger said.
