remains broad and elongated, and the associated shower and

thunderstorm activity has not yet increased in organization.

However, environmental conditions are conducive for development, and

a tropical depression is expected to form within the next day or two

the tropical Atlantic Ocean.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.



A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa

on Friday. Development of this system is anticipated after that

time, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early

next week while the wave moves westward or west-northwestward over

the far eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. Interests in the Cabo

Verde Islands should monitor the progress of this system during the

next several days.
