Tropical Depression Seventeen, located over the central tropical 
Atlantic.

1. Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure

conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is 
likely to form today while the system moves generally westward 
toward the Cabo Verde Islands.  Interests in those islands should 
monitor the progress of this system as gusty winds and locally heavy 
rainfall are likely to begin spreading over the area later today.

Verde Islands later this morning.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

producing disorganized cloudiness and showers.  Some slow 
development of this system is possible this week while it moves 
west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

3. A new tropical wave is forecast to emerge off the west coast of 
Africa by the middle to latter part of this week. Some gradual
development will be possible thereafter while the system moves 
generally westward.
