Meanwhile, a potent tropical wave over the central Atlantic about 1000 miles east of the Windward Islands is expected to become a tropical depression over the next few days. It should move into the southeastern Caribbean Sea by Wednesday and Thursday. If it becomes a named storm, the next name on the Atlantic list is Bonnie.
