Shower and #thunderstorm activity has increased since yesterday in
association with a #tropicalwave located roughly midway between the
#CaboVerde #Islands and the Lesser Antilles. Gradual development of
this #system is possible during the next couple of #days while it
#moves westward to west-northwestward across the central tropical
Atlantic. Afterwards, conditions are expected to #become more
conducive for development, and a #tropicaldepression is likely to
#form by the early to middle part of next #week while the system
approaches and then moves near or over the Lesser Antilles. The
system is #forecast to continue moving generally west-northwestward
and could approach portions of the Greater #Antilles by the middle to
latter part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
