Eastern tropical wave: Some development of this system is possible later this week and into the weekend while it moves westward to west-northwestward over the tropical Atlantic.

• Formation chance through 48 hours: low, near 0 percent.

• Formation chance through 7 days: low, 30 percent.

Who is likely to be impacted?

The system that was located off Florida may not be on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map, but it could bring drenching downpours and locally gusty thunderstorms across parts of the state later this week, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.

The National Weather Service in Miami predicted widespread rainfall through Friday night.

It's too early at this time to determine if there will be any impact to the U.S. from the tropical waves.

Forecasters urge all residents to continue monitoring the tropics and to always be prepared.
