Shower and thunderstorm activity is showing some signs of organization in association with a tropical wave located roughly midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles.

Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of
this system during the next few days while it moves westward to
west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the central tropical Atlantic.

A tropical depression is likely to form by the early to middle part of next week while the system approaches and then moves near or over the Lesser Antilles, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system.

Then, the system is forecast to move generally west-northwestward and could approach portions of the Greater Antilles by the middle to latter part of next week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…50 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…high…90 percent
