Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Franklin, located near the southern coast of the Dominican 
Republic.  The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on 
Tropical Depression Harold, located inland over northern Mexico.

1. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL07):
An area of low pressure centered several hundred miles east- 
northeast of the Leeward Islands (the remnants of former Tropical 
Storm Emily) continues to produce a large area of disorganized 
showers and  thunderstorms.  Upper-level winds are forecast to 
become more conducive for development in a day or so, and this 
system is likely to regenerate into a tropical depression or 
tropical storm late this week or this weekend when the system moves 
northward over the subtropical central Atlantic. For additional 
information on this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas 
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with 
a tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde 
Islands.  Environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable 
for some slow development through early next week while the system 
moves west-northwestward to northwestward into the central 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
