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

1. Western Gulf of Mexico (AL91):
An area of low pressure has formed over the Bay of Campeche and is 
producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The system is 
forecast to drift slowly northward for a couple of days while it 
interacts with a frontal boundary. Environmental conditions are 
forecast to be conducive for development, and a tropical depression 
is likely to form during the early or middle part of next week while 
the system moves generally northward near or along the Mexican and 
Texas Gulf coastline.  Interests along the western Gulf of Mexico 
coast should closely monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent. 
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. Central Tropical Atlantic:
An area of low pressure over the central tropical Atlantic is 
producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  Gradual 
development of this system is possible while the system meanders 
during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form 
early next week.  The system is then forecast to move 
west-northwestward at about 10 mph across the central tropical 
Atlantic during the middle to latter part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. 
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

3. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a trough of 
low pressure are located several hundred miles east-southeast of 
the Cabo Verde Islands.  Some slow development of this system is 
possible as it interacts with a tropical wave expected to move off 
the African continent early next week and moves west-northwestward 
at 5 to 10 mph.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
