Tropical Update
Tropical Depression Nicholas moving slowly across southeastern Texas. A slow motion toward the east is expected through Wednesday night, followed by a northward drift on Thursday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph with higher gusts. Continued gradual weakening is expected during the next couple of days, and Nicholas is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low Wednesday night or early Thursday.
A low pressure area located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple of days while the system moves generally west at about 15 mph across the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: High (80%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (90%)
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for gradual development during the next few days, and a tropical depression is likely to form while the system moves NNW to north across the western Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (60%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (70%)
