Watching a wave in the Atlantic, tropical formation is possible by mid-next week

A tropical wave located between the west coast of Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity over the far eastern Atlantic.

Dry and stable air will likely limit this system’s development over the next few days, but a tropical depression could form by the middle to latter part of next week while moving west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic.

There is a 50% chance of tropical formation in the next 7 days.

The next named storm in the 2025 Hurricane season is Gabrielle.
