A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa on Monday.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
A broad area of low pressure could form over the eastern or central tropical Atlantic early this week, to the west of the tropical wave that will be moving off the coast of Africa.
