>>> Eastern Tropical Atlantic Ocean:

A tropical wave just offshore of the west coast of Africa is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are forecast to gradually become more conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form in a few days while the disturbance moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward over the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. This system could produce areas of heavy rain and gusty winds across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands in a day or two.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent

>>> Caribbean Sea:

A tropical wave is producing disorganized thunderstorms and gusty winds across portions of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and over the adjacent eastern Caribbean waters. Environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development when the system reaches the western Caribbean Sea and southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this week and over the weekend, and a tropical depression could form during that time.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent
