2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with
a tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde
Islands. Environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable
for some slow development through early next week while the system
moves west-northwestward to northwestward into the central
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
