Will system in the Atlantic become tropical?
The National Hurricane Center has slightly lowered the chances that a system in the Atlantic could develop into a tropical depression. FOX 35 meteorologist Brooks Garner has a look at the latest.
This feature will be staying out at sea and not impacting the US. A second area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over the western Atlantic is forecast to move quickly toward the east-northeast.
