Showers and thunderstorms have increased near a broad low pressure
area associated with a tropical wave located between Africa and the
Cabo Verde Islands.  Environmental conditions appear conducive for
development, and a tropical depression could form by the
early part of next week while this system moves westward to
west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic.  This
system is likely to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of
the Cabo Verde Islands during the next couple of days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
