It’s early, but the National Hurricane Center is watching a tropical wave that it believes could develop into a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next seven days.

The tropical wave is currently located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.

“[It] continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity,” the National Hurricane Center wrote on Facebook. “Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive, and development of this system is anticipated. A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form this weekend several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands while the system moves westward at 15 to 20 mph. It has a medium (40 percent) chance in the next 48 hours and a high (70 percent) chance in the next 7 days.”

If it develops, the storm would become Tropical Storm Beryl.
