In the Tropics

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Showers and thunderstorms have become a little more concentrated today in association with a tropical wave located a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system while it moves westward to west-northwestward at around 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic during the next several days.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
