For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
A broad area of low pressure located over the central tropical Atlantic about midway between the Windward Islands and western Africa is producing disorganized shower activity. The low-level circula-tion has become better defined since yesterday and, since environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for further development, a tropical depression is still likely to form within a few days. This system is forecast to move westward or west-northwestward across the central and west-ern tropical Atlantic during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
