Tropical Update
Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased in association with a tropical wave over the central tropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the early to middle part of this week. This system is forecast to move west at 15 to 20 mph over the tropical Atlantic, approach the Windward Islands on Tuesday, and move across the southeastern Caribbean Sea on Wednesday and Thursday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (40%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (70%)
An area of cloudiness and thunderstorms extending from southeastern Louisiana across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and the Florida peninsula is associated with a trough of low pressure. Slow development of this system could occur as it drifts west across the northern Gulf of Mexico over the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (20%)
