Forecasters are closely watching a tropical wave that will likely become a tropical storm or hurricane later this week. Here’s what models show for any possible threat to Florida.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves: The axis of an eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 31W/32W S of 18N, and moving west around 17 mph. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 06N to 12N between 30W and 34W.

A tropical wave in the central Atlantic Ocean shows signs of organizing as it makes its way west toward the Caribbean Sea.
