Storm Francine, located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

1. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92): 
An elongated area of low pressure over the central tropical 
Atlantic continues to produce disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions are marginally conducive 
for development during the next few days, and a tropical depression 
could form while the system meanders over the central tropical 
Atlantic.  By the middle part of the week, the system is forecast 
to move west-northwestward at around 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. 
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

2. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of 
the Cabo Verde Islands is expected to merge in a couple of days 
with a strong tropical wave currently near the coast of western 
Africa.  Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression will likely 
form during the middle to latter part of this week while the system 
moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
