NHC- We continue to monitor a tropical wave in the central Atlantic, which has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression some time next week while moving westward across the Caribbean Sea.

Near the Lesser Antilles and Caribbean Sea:

A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Lesser

Antilles continues to produce some disorganized showers and

thunderstorms. The disturbance is forecast to move westward and

reach the Lesser Antilles on Monday. Thereafter, environmental

conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system,

and a tropical depression could form while it continues moving

westward across the Caribbean Sea through the middle to latter part

of the week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…50 percent.

3. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:

Another tropical wave located just to the west of the Cabo Verde

Islands is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.

Development, if any, should be slow to occur while the system moves

slowly westward to west-northwestward over the eastern and central

tropical Atlantic through late next week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days…low…10 percent.
