(MIAMI, FLA) — A low pressure system brewing in the eastern Atlantic could become a tropical depression according to the National Hurricane Center.
The broad low pressure system is located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and continues to produce a large area of showers and thunderstorms.
The NHC says environmental conditions are currently conducive for development, and a tropical depression has an 80% chance of forming today or tomorrow.
The system is moving northwestward at about 10 mph over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
However, upper-level winds are expected to become less conducive for development by Wednesday and Thursday.
For now, the system is expected to head north away from the US mainland.

If the storm does develop into a named system, it will be called “Julia.”
