Tropical Update

Recent satellite data indicate that a broad area of low pressure located about 1200 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands does not yet have a well-defined center. However, the system is producing tropical-storm-force winds to the east of the broad low and a tropical or subtropical storm is likely to form tonight or tomorrow. The system is expected to move northward to north-northeastward over the central Atlantic through tonight, and then turn westward on Saturday, remaining well to the north or northeast of the Lesser Antilles through early next week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours: High (90%).

* Formation chance through 5 days: High (90%).
