10/50 odds for the storm entering the east Atlantic.
A tropical wave located about midway between the coast of Africa
and the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for development of this system, and a tropical depression
could form next week while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern tropical
Atlantic Ocean. Heavy rainfall is possible over portions of the
southern Cabo Verde Islands during the next few days, and interests
on those islands should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
