Tropical Depression Two has formed in the Central Atlantic. We’re also watching two other areas with the low potential for development across the Atlantic basin. 

Tropical Depression Two has become more organized through Friday. It has max winds of 35 mph and is moving west at 17 mph. It should strengthen and become a tropical storm soon. The next name on the list is Beryl.

Its track will continue west-northwestward, eventually reaching the Lesser Antilles by this weekend or early next week. Most models keep this system south of the U.S., moving into the Caribbean Sea, and eventually moving inland in Central America.

Another disturbance is in the western Caribbean Sea and quickly moving westward. It's producing a large area of disorganized showers and storms.

Environmental conditions could become more favorable in the western Caribbean Sea or southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend, but development odds remain low.

Another area being monitored is a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic that just moved off the west coast of Africa. It's producing some disorganized showers and storms and some slow development is possible next week as it moves west across the Atlantic.

We'll continue to monitor the latest development in the tropics.
