Summary
Tropical Depression Six formed southwest of the Azores with 35 mph winds and is drifting at 2 mph, becoming the Atlantic season's sixth depression.
National Hurricane Center forecasts show the system could briefly strengthen into Tropical Storm Fay on Sunday, but it is then expected to weaken and likely dissipate.
The former Invest 99L should meander through the weekend before a dip in the jet stream steers it south into the central Atlantic next week, with no land threat expected.
The storm arrives during the Atlantic's quietest start on record since 1960, with no hurricanes yet formed as El Niño suppresses development in the basin.
