A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over western 
Africa and the far eastern tropical Atlantic is associated with a

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

A tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic continues 
to produce some disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  This system 
is expected to move west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, and some 
slow development is possible early next week when it is expected to 
be near the Lesser Antilles.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
