The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues to monitor a tropical wave moving across the central tropical Atlantic. As of 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, forecasters report that environmental conditions are only marginally favourable for further development.

The likelihood of the system intensifying into a tropical depression appears to be decreasing, according to the NHC. Meteorologists will continue to track the wave closely over the coming days as it moves across the Atlantic.

Residents and mariners in the region are advised to stay informed through official channels and monitor any updates regarding potential weather impacts.
