Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized with an elongated area of low pressure several hundred miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles. Although upper-level winds are expected to be only marginally conducive for development, this system could become a tropical depression early next week while it moves west-northwestward toward the Leeward Islands, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As of Friday afternoon, the wave is not showing any signs of impacting South Florida.
