What’s the score with AL94?
The tropical wave termed AL94 in the eastern Atlantic is still several hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands.
As of the 8 p.m. Friday advisory, the hurricane center said shower and thunderstorm activity is increasing Friday night. Environmental conditions are expected to improve for it to develop into a system.
A tropical depression could form by the early to middle of next week while it moves west or west-northwest across the eastern and central Atlantic.
