Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles
south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing limited and
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. However, the
environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for
development of this system by early next week. A tropical depression
could form by the middle of next week while it moves westward or
west-northwestward at about 10 mph across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic.
