There is a Tropical Wave, associated with an upper level trough, to the east of Florida over the Bahamas. It's expected to bring rain, but nothing indicative of sure fire development beyond that yet.

Some models earlier were suggesting development of this system, but have not really persisted it much. It's worth watching being as close as it is, but most likely it will be nothing more than a rain enhancing event for the late week and weekend over South Florida.

If the system were to slow, drift north or away, and persist in the convection, then it becomes more interesting. However, negative factors are the upper atmosphere isn't too great for it now, and an upper low to the west make take some energy away from this system. Convection is good, but not exactly organized.

Chances for Tropical Development of Bahamas wave.
