Environmental conditions are only marginally conducive for additional development of this wave as it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western tropical Atlantic. This disturbance has a low chance of development during the next 7 days.
Another tropical wave located over the Eastern Atlantic is moving westward near 17 mph 28 km/h.
