A tropical wave located off the coast of west Africa is merging with
another disturbance located a couple of hundred miles south of the
Cabo Verde Islands, resulting in an extensive area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms.
Development of this system is likely to
be slow during the next couple of days while it moves west-
northwestward at about 15 mph. After that, a tropical depression
is more likely to form early next week over the central tropical

Atlantic where environmental conditions are forecast to be more
favorable for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
Another tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of
Africa over the weekend. An area of low pressure is expected to
form from the wave, and some development of this low will be
possible early next week while it moves generally westward over the
far eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…20 percent.
