NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

200 PM EDT Fri Aug 21 2020



For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:



The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently

upgraded Tropical Storm Laura, which is approaching the northern

Leeward Islands, and on Tropical Depression Fourteen, located over

the northwestern Caribbean Sea.



An area of disorganized cloudiness and showers located between the

west coast of Africa and the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with

a broad area of low pressure and tropical wave. This disturbance is

expected to move westward at 15 to 20 mph across the Cabo Verde

Islands during the next 24 hours. Conditions are forecast to be

only marginally conducive for some development over the next couple

of days. After that time, environmental conditions are expected to

become less favorable for development. Regardless of development

this system will likely bring gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall

across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands this weekend.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
