Tropical Atlantic:
A broad area of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms several hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development

middle to latter part of this week while moving across the central
tropical Atlantic and approaching portions of the Leeward Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
