As for the tropics, a disturbance over the Central Atlantic remains weak and disorganized this morning. There is an increased potential for long-term tropical development as it nears the Bahamas by Friday and the vicinity of Florida this weekend.

The exact track of the disturbance is far from certain since no storm has formed yet.
