The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Danielle, located several hundred miles northwest of the Azores, and on Hurricane Earl, located several hundred miles south of Bermuda.
1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
An area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system over the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form over this period while it moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
After that time, upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development. It has a medium (60 percent) chance of formation during the next 48 hours and in the next 5 days.
2. African Coast:
A tropical wave currently located near the west African coast is forecast to emerge offshore into the eastern Atlantic over the next day or so.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development thereafter as the system moves west-northwestward over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
It has a near zero chance in the next 48 hours and a low (30 percent) chance in the next 5 days.
