UPDATE III 11 PM 7/4/2020
Tropical Depression 5 is moving just north of Bermuda bringing rain and windy conditions to the area. It is expected to encounter dry air and wind shear so it is not expected to strengthen into much more than a week tropical storm. It would be named Edouard as the 5th named storm of the season.

FIRST UPDATE 11 AM 7/4/2020
Tropical Depression 5 forms in the Atlantic this morning just west of Bermuda. Conditions are not overly favorable for significant intensification, but we could see it strengthen to a tropical storm later this weekend. The next name on the list is Edouard. There is no threat to land with this system but we will continue to monitor it over the next few days.
