TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: THERE ARE THREE AREAS OF INTEREST CURRENTLY BEING MONITORED;
[1] SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CHANGED LITTLE ON ORGANIZATION WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MORE THAN 500 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH OR 90 PERCENT CHANCE OF CYCLONE FORMATION THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.
[2] SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS POORLY ORGANIZED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE
OUTER BANKS, NORTH CAROLINA. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH OR 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF CYCLONE FORMATION THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.
[3] A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED JUST INLAND OVER AFRICA IS EXPECTED TO EMERGE OFF THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA IN A FEW DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW OR 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF CYCLONE FORMATION THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.
