Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently
upgraded Tropical Storm Danielle, located about 950 miles west of
the Azores.
1. East of the Leeward Islands:
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low
pressure located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands
have recently decreased in coverage. Although environmental
conditions remain only marginally conducive, any additional
development of the system over the next few days would lead to the
formation of a tropical depression. The disturbance is forecast to
move slowly west-northwestward, toward the adjacent waters of the
northern Leeward Islands. Additional information on this system can
be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather
Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.
2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Satellite imagery and surface observations show that a broad area
of low pressure is located over and to the northwest of the Cabo
Verde Islands. The associated shower activity has diminished
through the day. There is still some chance for the system to
become a short-lived tropical depression within the next day or so
before environmental conditions become unfavorable for further
development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
