Tropical wave may develop into low-pressure system with 20% chance in central Atlantic, named Francine if formed.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave with a 20% chance of developing into a low-pressure system in the central Tropical Atlantic over the next 7 days. Environmental conditions are generally favorable for some slow development this weekend into early next week as it moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. If it forms, it may be named Francine, but the exact path remains uncertain.
