shower and thunderstorm activity.  Unfavorable environmental
conditions should limit development of this system during the next

This system is expected to move generally west-northwestward across
the tropical Atlantic at about 15 mph during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
