Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with 
a tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cabo

tropical depression could form over the weekend while the system 
moves west-northwestward to northwestward across the central 
tropical Atlantic.

thunderstorms.  Upper-level winds are forecast to become more 
conducive for development in a day or so, and this system could 
regenerate into a tropical depression or tropical storm late this 
week or this weekend when the system moves northward over the 
subtropical central Atlantic. For additional information on this
