According to the National Hurricane Centre, the associated showers and thunderstorms are showing signs of organization.

Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for gradual development, with a tropical depression likely to form during the next day or two.

The NHC adds that regardless of development, this system has the potential to bring gusty winds, heavy rainfall and flooding to portions of the Lesser Antilles beginning Friday.
