Tropical Depression Likely to Form in Atlantic Ocean

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave, Invest Area 92L, which could develop into a tropical depression by next week. The system is currently located south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for the system to develop further, and forecasters say a tropical depression is likely to form in the early to middle part of next week as the system continues to move west across the Atlantic at 15-20 mph. The organization's tropical weather outlook gives it a 50 percent chance to develop over the next 48 hours and 70 percent over the next seven days.
