A tropical wave, accompanied by a broad area of low pressure, is
located south of the Cabo Verde Islands. This disturbance is
expected to move rapidly westward across the tropical Atlantic
Ocean at 20 to 25 mph for the next several days. Environmental
conditions are expected to become conducive for gradual development,
and a tropical depression could form while the system approaches the
Lesser Antilles and moves into the Caribbean Sea by the middle of
next week.
