A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa by
the end of this weekend. Thereafter, environmental conditions are
forecast to be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical
depression could form by the middle of next week while the system
moves westward at 10 to 15 mph over the far eastern tropical.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
Next update when this becomes a depression or storm.
