Tropical Update
A low pressure system centered about 900 miles ENE of the northern Leeward Islands is gradually becoming better defined and the associated shower and thunderstorm activity is showing signs of organization. This low is expected to move generally north over the next couple of days into an area where environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for further development, and a tropical
or subtropical storm is likely to form by early this weekend. After that time, the system is forecast to turn west well to the north or northeast of the Lesser Antilles through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: High (70%).
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (80%).
