Looks like TD2 (Tropical Depression Two) will soon become, Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season.

But the one to watch, according to Dr. Jeff Masters in his Wonder Blog, is the strong tropical wave loacated just off the coast of Africa.

“A strong tropical wave with some rotation and plenty of heavy thunderstorm activity left the coast of Africa yesterday, and is located a few hundred miles south of the Cape Verdes Islands. The GFS and ECMWF models continue to predict the development of this wave late this week. Both of these models indicate that the wave would track further south than Tropical Depression Two, and could impact the Lesser Antilles Islands in about seven days. This storm bears close attention over the coming days,” writes Dr. Masters.
