ORLANDO, Fla. — Update #2:
95L, which has moved into the Caribbean, now has a 0% chance of forming into a tropical storm or depression, Channel 9 certified meteorologist George Waldenberger said.
Update:
There are now three systems being monitored in the tropics, none of which have formed so far.

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.

Previous story:
Channel 9 meteorologists are tracking two systems that are moving through the western Atlantic.
The first system, Invest 95L, continues to struggle with any sort of development.
Tropical development looks unlikely for Invest 95L and is now down to around 10%.
Regardless, the system is approaching the Windward Islands and is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles.
The next watch area, which is a few hundred miles south-southwest of Bermuda also has limited chances of developing.

More likely, it will remain a sloppy low-pressure system that will give us a slighting increased chance for rain into the weekend.
Channel 9 will continue to monitor both storm systems and will provide updates on Eyewitness News.
