A tropical wave currently approaching the eastern Caribbean Sea will continue to move westward and arrive into the central and western Caribbean Sea over the weekend. Current upper level conditions are not favorable for development, but as the wave axis reaches the western Caribbean late this weekend, upper level winds will become increasing favorable for the development of a tropical depression or storm. High pressure building over the southeast US will likely result in some sort of slow W to WNW motion, but the final outcome of track solutions will likely hinge on the intensity of the system next week and where a defined low level center forms.
