This Saturday, shower and thunderstorm activity continues to increase in association with a tropical wave located roughly midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system during the next several days while it moves westward to west-northwest ward at 15 to 20 mph across the central tropical Atlantic. A tropical depression is likely to form by the early to middle part of next week while the system approaches and then moves near or over the Lesser Antilles, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system. Then, the system is forecast to move generally west-northwest ward and could approach portions of the Greater Antilles by the middle to latter part of next week. It has a medium (40 percent) chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a high (80 percent) chance in the next 7 days.
