1. Early morning satellite images indicate that the cloud pattern
associated with the low pressure system located about 800 miles
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has not changed very
much in organization. Environmental conditions, however, are
favorable for a tropical depression or a tropical storm to form
within the next 24 hours or so while the low moves westward or
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.

1. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure area
located about 500 miles south of the southern tip of the Baja

later today or tomorrow before it reaches colder waters.

* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
2. A broad area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is

Although shower activity remains disorganized, environmental
conditions are forecast to be favorable for development, and a
tropical depression is likely to form later this week while the
disturbance moves westward at about 10 mph.

* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.

North Pacific, a few hundred miles south of the coast of El
Salvador. Some development of this system is possible late this
