Tropical Update
We are tracking a broad area of low pressure located about 600 miles WSW of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions are expected to be somewhat conducive for development to occur, and a tropical depression could form during the next day or two while the disturbance moves generally west to WNW at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic. Conditions are forecast to become less conducive for development by the end of the week.
