Two Tropical Disturbances Monitored in the Atlantic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meteorologists are tracking two tropical waves in the Atlantic, one near the Leeward Islands and another off the coast of West Africa, with both showing signs of potential development.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

System Near the Leeward Islands<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A tropical wave moving through the central Atlantic is generating widespread but disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters say conditions are becoming more favourable for gradual development, and the system could strengthen into a tropical depression late this week or over the weekend as it tracks near or just north of the northern Leeward Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) has given the disturbance a low 10% chance of formation within 48 hours, but a higher 60% chance over the next seven days.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

System Off Cabo Verde<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Further east, a second tropical wave, currently designated AL99<\/strong>, is producing clusters of showers and thunderstorms southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Forecasters say environmental conditions are marginally favourable, and a short-lived tropical depression could form as it moves westward at about 15 mph.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, the outlook beyond the next couple of days is less promising, with the NHC expecting conditions to turn unfavourable by the end of the week. The system has been given a 40% chance of formation within both the next 48 hours and the next seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disturbances come as the Atlantic enters the peak of hurricane season, a period when warm waters and favourable winds often fuel tropical development. Residents across the northern Leeward Islands and the wider Caribbean are being urged to stay alert to forecasts in the coming days.<\/p>
