WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The WPTV First Alert Weather team is tracking Tropical Wave Invest 91-L in the central Atlantic Ocean.
The National Hurricane Center said Friday that the system now has a 30% chance of developing into a tropical depression this weekend, and a 60% chance within the next week. These numbers have lowered slightly as the system will likely encounter drier air over the next few days.

The wave has limited showers and thunderstorms as it moves west in the Atlantic at 10 mph, but it is still disorganized.
By the middle or end of next week, the system could be near the Lesser Antilles, so people in that area should keep an eye on how it develops. After that, it's still too early to tell where it will end up and how strong it will get.
Models do strengthen it into a hurricane, but until a center forms, the potential track will be tough to pin down.
The next name is Gabrielle.
