National Hurricane Center forecasters are watching an area of low pressure system with disorganized storms that is currently in the east-central Atlantic Ocean.
They say there is a 70 percent chance it will get organized into a tropical depression over the next 48 hours. The system is nearly stationary 800 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
It is expected to begin a west-northwest track at 10 to 15 mph later today. The good news is, forecasters believe adverse conditions will keep the system from strengthening and could even pull it apart.
“This system has the potential to become a tropical depression today or Thursday before conditions become unfavorable for tropical cyclone formation,” said the 8 a.m. update on the hurricane center’s website.
