Disturbance 1
Satellite images show that the thunderstorm activity associated with a strong tropical wave that has moved off the west coast of Africa this morning is quickly becoming better organized. Environmental conditions are conducive for further development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form later today or tonight while the system moves generally westward over the eastern tropical Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph.
More: Couple's North Naples home survived Hurricane Irma. It was destroyed last weekend by a fire.
Interests in the Cabo Verde Island should monitor the progress of this disturbance. Regardless of development, this system is likely to bring locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds to portions of the southern Cabo Verde Islands.
Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent
Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent
