Tropical Update
A large area of disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with a tropical wave interacting with a broader surface trough. Environmental conditions appear somewhat conducive for gradual development over the next several days, and a tropical depression could form late this weekend or early next week while the system moves generally WNW across the tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (30%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (60%)

A trough of low pressure located over the central tropical Atlantic continues to produce some disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to move slowly WNW, and some slow development is possible early next week as it approaches the Lesser Antilles.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (20%)
