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

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
A broad area of low pressure located over the central tropical 
Atlantic about 1100 miles east of the Windward Islands continues to 
produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.   
Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for 
gradual development, and a tropical depression will likely form 
during the next 2-3 days while the system moves westward to 
west-northwestward across the central and western tropical Atlantic. 
Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of 
this system. Additional information on this system, including gale 
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
