TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK:
1. Far Eastern Tropical Atlantic: An area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave that just moved off the west coast of Africa, has formed about 600 miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. This system could become a short-lived tropical depression on Thursday or Friday while it moves northwestward to northward. However, strong upper-level winds should end the opportunity for development by the weekend. This system has a low chance of formation in the next 2 days and a medium chance of formation in the next 7 days.
2. Central Subtropical Atlantic (Former Tropical Storm Fay): A low-pressure system, formerly Tropical Storm Fay, is located about 800 miles southwest of the Azores. Significant re-development of this system is unlikely while it moves generally westward over the next couple of days. This system has a low chance of development in the next 7 days.
