The National Hurricane Center is watching a pair of tropical waves moving west, one through the Caribbean Sea and one about 700 miles east of the Windward Islands. Neither shows much sign of developing into a depression or tropical storm, however.

Forecasters say upper level winds are not favorable for development for either wave.

Rain and storms in the wave in the Caribbean diminished during the night and the wave in the Atlantic Ocean remains disorganized.

The National Hurricane Center gives both a less than 30 percent chance of becoming something more significant.
