Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL97):
Updated: Recently received satellite-derived wind data indicate that a well-defined low pressure system has formed about midway between the west coast of Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands with maximum winds of about 35 mph.
Although the associated shower and thunderstorm activity still lacks some organization, only a small increase in the organization could lead to the formation of a tropical depression before the low moves near or across the Cabo Verde Islands tonight and on Monday.
Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible today and Monday across the Cabo Verde Islands, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system.
Even if a tropical depression does not form over the next day or so, environmental conditions appear conducive for later development. and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle to latter portion of this week while moving west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…high…80 percent.
