ELSEWHERE IN THE TROPICS A disorganized tropical wave north of the Leeward Islands has lowered its thunderstorm activity over the past few hours. However, environmental conditions will become more conducive for development over the next few days, and there’s a good chance it could become our next tropical depression. Later this week, regardless of development, it’s expected to stall several hundred miles southwest of Bermuda. NHC currently gives this feature a 60% chance of development, and if it were to receive a name, the next name is Josephine. Tropical Depression 10, which formed off the west coast of Africa on Friday, has dissipated.
