Tropical Depression 4 was named Wednesday night out in the Atlantic Ocean. Latest satellite imagery shows a very small and poorly organized system as it moves quickly to the northwest.
No real strengthening is forecast due to a large amount of wind shear and dry air over the Atlantic for the next few days.
The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center brings a very weak depression north of Puerto Rico by early next week.
This will most likely degenerate into a remnant low beyond that point and continue through the western Atlantic as a small tropical wave.
At this point there is not threat to the Gulf of Mexico, or the U.S. mainland in general.
