However, the low is embedded in a very dry environment, and therefore significant development is not expected while it moves generally northward at 5 to 10 mph over the central subtropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent. Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico: A broad area of low pressure should form during the next few days over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the adjacent portions of Central America. Thereafter, gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form as the system moves slowly northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico through the end of next week. Regardless of development, this system is expected to produce heavy rains over portions of Central America during the next several days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic: A tropical wave is expected to move westward from the coast of Africa on Sunday or Monday. Gradual development of this system is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression could form next week while the wave moves westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent. $$ Forecaster Beven
