A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms. Earlier satellite-derived surface wind data depicted that the system does not have a well-defined center.
Environmental conditions appear marginally favorable for additional development over the next day or so while the system moves west-southwestward at around 15 mph and a short-lived tropical depression could form. By the end of the week, environmental conditions are expected to become unfavorable for further development.
