Invest 94, a trough of low pressure, is located north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The system is forecast to quickly move north of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola by Saturday and over the Bahamas this weekend. No development is possible due to strong wind shear. NHC gives this system a low chance of developing.
