Currently models agree that this system will develop and could strengthen into a TD or TS by this weekend.
By the end of this week, we should see a lot of moisture building near the Bahamas.
NOAA give this moisture a 70% chance of developing over the next five days.
Some modeling is pushing the system ENE out into the Atlantic, but there are a few forecasts that do bring the system closer to the Florida coast as it starts to develop.
Could we see our first named storm of the 2020 season? The possibility is there.
If so, it will be named Arthur.
So keep an eye on this one.
