Tropical Update
We are watching several areas for potential development in the tropics. The area with the greatest chance for development is a broad area of low pressure over the central tropical Atlantic. Although environmental conditions ahead of the system are currently only marginal favorable, some gradual development of this system is expected over the next several days and a tropical depression is likely to form later this week. The disturbance is forecast to move slowly toward the west and then WNW at 5 to 10 mph, toward the waters east and northeast of the Leeward Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (50%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (80%)
