southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Upper-level winds are gradually 
becoming more conducive for development, and a tropical depression 
or a tropical storm could form within the next day or so. The low

tonight before moving slowly northward to northeastward on Friday

south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized

less favorable by late this weekend.  The system is forecast to move 
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph during the next several days.
