A tropical wave drifted off the coast of Africa on August 1. Unlike other waves earlier than this, Bret maintained its convection due to favorable upper-level winds and temperate waters. Convection was concentrated around the wave, and clusters of clouds appeared, increasing satellite estimates of intensity. Because of this, Tropical Depression 3 developed 2,010 km east of Trinidad on August 4 at latitude 10 ° N.
