Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles there is an area of disturbed weather moving over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean that is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave during the next several days.
Environmental conditions are forecast to become conducive for some development thereafter, and a tropical depression could form mid to late week while the system is in the vicinity of the northern Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, southwestern Atlantic Ocean of the southeast Bahamas.
Formation chances through 48 hours are low and near 0 percent; through 7 days chances remain low and at 50 percent.
