CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:
There are no Tropical Cyclones
>>> Central Tropical Atlantic:
Invest 94L
A well-defined area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is currently embedded in a dry environment, and development is unlikely over the next couple of days.
However, this system is forecast to move generally westward toward warmer waters, and environmental conditions could become more favorable for gradual development by the middle to latter part of this week.
A tropical depression could form as the system begins moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near the Leeward Islands late this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…60 percent
>>> Western Caribbean Sea:
A broad area of low pressure is likely to form over the southwestern
Caribbean Sea by the middle to latter portions of this week.
Some development is possible thereafter if the system stays over water
while it moves slowly west-northwestward towards northern Central
America.
Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of Central America later this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent
