The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Danielle, located more than 800 miles west-northwest of the Azores, and on Tropical Storm Earl, located about 600 miles south of Bermuda.
1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms persist from the Cabo Verde Islands southwestward several hundred miles in association with a broad area of low pressure.
Environmental conditions are conducive for some development of this system, and a tropical depression could form in a few days while moving westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
Upper-level winds are likely to become less conducive for development late this week.
It has a medium (40 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and a medium (60 percent) chance in the next 5 days.
2. African Coast:
A tropical wave currently located over western Africa is forecast to emerge offshore into the eastern Atlantic in a day or two.
Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for some slow development thereafter as the system moves west-northwestward over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
It has a near zero chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a low (20 percent) chance in the next 5 days.
