8:30am CDT STORM2K Tropical Update, Sunday, Aug. 22, 2004

Former tropical depression Danielle's remnants continue wandering West about 1000 miles West of the Azores. There are no signs of redevelopment of this system.

The tropical wave in the West central Caribbean has lost a lot of the convection associated with it overnight. Even though there is no hint of any organization of this system at this time it is moving into an area where the conditions are better for development. We will continue to monitor this system and report any changes to you here.

The tropical wave Southeast of the Cape Verde Islands is not showing any significant signs of organizing, however it does have a broad area of mid and low level rotation. This is confirmed in the morning visible satellite pictures and by surface observations from the West African coast and Cape Verde islands along with some ship observations. As this disturbance progresses Westward it has the potential to develop into a tropical cyclone over the next several days. Storm2k forecasters are monitoring it and will keep you posted on any changes.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic Basin no tropical storm development is expected through Monday.
