Brian: NHC upgrades tropical wave development chance to high in next 48 hours

Over the last couple of hours, showers and storms have become more organized in the western Caribbean, a little south of Jamaica. As it's evening (no visible satellite) and the disturbance is still not incredibly well organized, it's difficult to pinpoint where the center is but it appears to be somewhere between Honduras and Jamaica. Wind shear is very light in this area (less than 10 knots), so there is no reason why this shouldn't organize more overnight. We may very well have our first depression of the Atlantic season by tomorrow. Details coming up tonight on WINK.
