thunderstorms.  Some development of this system is possible this 
week as it drifts generally westward over the eastern and central 
tropical Atlantic Ocean.

with a disturbance centered a couple of hundred miles southeast of 
the Cabo Verde Islands toward the end of the week.  Gradual 
development of this system is then possible, and a tropical 
depression could form over the weekend while it moves westward over 
the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
