Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94): A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave located near the Cabo Verde Islands is producing an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form later this week while the system initially moves west-northwestward and then turns northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent. Central Subtropical Atlantic (Remnants of Gert): Showers and thunderstorms associated with a trough of low pressure (the remnants of Gert) are located several hundred miles to the north of the northern Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions do not appear to be that favorable for additional development over the next couple of days as the system drifts slowly northward or north- northeastward. Upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable for development by the weekend. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Kelly/Reinhart
