Environmental conditions appear conducive for further development and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple of days.

Interest in the Windward Islands should monitor the progress of this system.
Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h. This wave has a low chance of further development during the next five days.
A third tropical wave just off the west African coast is moving westward near 20 mph or 31 km/h.
