In the Atlantic Basin there is a lot of attention on one tropical wave. It is 3,000 miles away and has a lot of strengthening to do. This has been designated AL97. It is moving west-northwest near 15-20 mph. It will likely become a tropical depression by later this week and become Erin. It has a high chance of development as it moves towards the central Atlantic, which will have better conditions to see further strengthening.
