For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on newly formed 
Tropical Depression Thirteen, located over the central Tropical 
Atlantic.

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL96):
A broad low pressure system associated with a strong tropical wave 
off the coast of West Africa, is producing a large area of showers 
and thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions appear conducive for 
gradual development, and a tropical depression could form over the 
far eastern tropical Atlantic during the middle to latter part of 
the week while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. 
This system is expected to move across the Cabo Verde Islands 
Wednesday night and Thursday, and interests there should monitor its 
progress.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. Northeastern Atlantic (ex-Franklin):
Post-Tropical Cyclone Franklin is located a few hundred miles 
northeast of the Azores, and is forecast to move quickly 
east-southeastward towards warmer waters east of the Azores.  This 
system could acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics 
later this week or this weekend while it moves erratically between 
the Azores and Portugal. For additional information on this system, 
including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo 
France.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
