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

1. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the 
southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next day or so from a tropical 
wave currently located over northwestern Colombia and the 
south-central Caribbean Sea.  Environmental conditions are forecast 
to be conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely 
to form late this week or over the weekend while the system moves 
west-northwestward to northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean 
Sea. The disturbance is expected to move near or across the Yucatan 
Peninsula of Mexico on Saturday, and move into the western Gulf of 
Mexico by Sunday where conditions could be favorable for additional 
development to occur. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

2. A broad trough of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic about 800 miles 
southeast of Bermuda. Only slow development of this system is 
expected during the next day or so due to unfavorable upper-level 
winds. Afterwards, environmental conditions are forecast to become 
more conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely 
to form late this week or this weekend while the system turns 
eastward over the central Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.

several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is 
producing a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. Some 
development of this system is possible over the next several days 
while it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the eastern 
tropical Atlantic. Upper-level winds are forecast to become less 
conducive for development by this weekend.
