central tropical Atlantic Ocean is associated with a broad area
of low pressure located a little over 900 miles east of the
northern Leeward Islands. This system is expected to move slowly
northward over the next few days into an area where environmental
conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development. A
tropical or subtropical depression could form over the weekend while
the system turns westward well to the northeast of the Lesser

Description:
The Global Infrared Satellite image shows clouds by their temperature. Red and blue areas indicate cold (high) cloud tops. Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of terahertz radiation and microwaves. Weather satellites equipped with scanning radiometers produce thermal or infrared images which can then enable a trained analyst to determine cloud heights and types, to calculate land and surface water temperatures, and to locate ocean surface features.
