On Monday, October 14, 2024, a well-defined area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
This system is currently embedded in a dry environment, and development is unlikely over the next couple of days.
However, this system is forecast to move generally westward toward warmer waters, and environmental conditions could become more favorable for gradual development by the middle to latter part of this week.
A tropical depression could form as the system begins moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near the Leeward Islands late this week.
It has a low (10 percent) chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a medium (50 percent) chance in the next 7 days.
