There’s now a third tropical wave in the Atlantic. How will this affect Florida’s weather?

There are now three potential tropical storms developing in the Atlantic, and one of them could bring heavy rain to South Florida by the weekend.
The newest tropical wave, Disturbance 3, is brewing just off the west coast of Africa, as of the National Hurricane Center’s 2 a.m. advisory Tuesday.
That wave is expected to move quickly westward in the next few days, but, unlike its speed, forecasters say its development will be “slow” - zero percent in the next 48 hours and 20 percent later this week and into the weekend — as it moves several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
Both of them are moving westward, but by the time Disturbance 3 nears the Lesser Antilles, the other wave will have slowly moved on, according to forecasters.
Disturbance 1 also has a 30 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours or five days, according to the forecast, but conditions for upper-level winds are expected to become unfavorable later in the week.
