As Hurricane Andrew's anniversary is marked, the Storm Team 5 team is keeping an eye on two systems in the Atlantic.
A Tropical Wave is currently over the Lesser Antilles. It has the potential to impact Florida this weekend. The storm has an 80 percent chance for development for the next five days.
