Near the Leeward Islands (AL90), an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, associated with a tropical wave, is located about two hundred miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form this weekend as it moves northwestward and then northward between the Lesser Antilles and Bermuda.
Meanwhile, in the Central Tropical Atlantic (AL99) showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located about 1,000 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands remain well organized, with a 50 percent chance of formation in 48 hours.
This system could develop into a tropical depression at any time, but the latest satellite wind data indicate that the system does not have a well-defined center of circulation.
