The Atlantic has two systems with good potential to develop right now. Ending a few weeks of relative inactivity.

There is a wave located near Hispanola that may develop, one east of the Leeward islands 1000 miles or so and one just south of the cape Verde Islands, which is the most likely to form first.

Along with an upper level low in the gulf, things are really starting to heat up. I'd expect one maybe two tropical depressions to form sometime today.
