Fox 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Noah Bergen has your Labor Day evening forecast and a look at the tropics.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A tropical wave off the coast of Africa is being tracked by the National Hurricane Center and has the potential of becoming a tropical depression later this week, the NHC said. 

The National Hurricane Center increased the chances of tropical development to 60%. 

The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, 2025, with the most active part of the season typically during August, September, and October. So far this year, there have been six named tropical storms.

Gabrielle is the next name on the list should a tropical storm or hurricane form. 

The NHC said the tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. However, environmental conditions appear favorable for slow development. A tropical depression could form later this week or weekend, the NHC said.
