Two tropical waves located in the Atlantic Ocean have attracted the attention of the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The wave expected to reach the Caribbean first is located in the Central Atlantic Ocean between Africa and the Windward Islands.
The NHC said the wave is producing a large area of disorganized rain and thunderstorms.
“Some slow development of this system is possible over the next few days as it moves generally west-northwestward over the central tropical Atlantic and approaches the Windward Islands by the end of the week,” the NHC said.
Forecasters have given the wave a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next five days.
The second tropical wave, which is located on the west coast of Africa, is also an area of disorganized rain and thunderstorms.

“Environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable and any development of this wave should be slow to occur as it moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic by the end of the week,” the NHC said.
The wave has also been given a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone this week.
