Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Tue Aug 30 2022

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

1. Central Tropical Atlantic:
A broad and elongated area of low pressure located several hundred 
miles east of the Lesser Antilles is producing a large area of 
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although environmental 
conditions are only marginally conducive, some gradual development 
of this system is expected over the next several days and a tropical 
depression is likely to form later this week. The disturbance is 
forecast to move slowly toward the west and then west-northwest at 5 
to 10 mph, toward the adjacent waters of the northern Leeward 
Islands. Additional information on this system can be found in 
High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave accompanied by a broad area of low pressure is 
located just off the west coast of Africa. Some gradual development 
is possible, and the system could become a short-lived tropical 
depression over the far eastern Atlantic during the next few days. 
By late this week, the disturbance is forecast to move over cooler 
waters and further development is not expected. Regardless of 
development, the system could bring locally heavy rainfall to 
portions of the Cabo Verde Islands by Wednesday. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
