association with an area low pressure system located over the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Upper-level winds are gradually
becoming more conducive for development, and a tropical depression
or a tropical storm could form within the next day or so. The low

south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized
shower and thunderstorm activity.  Environmental conditions are
expected to be conducive for development during the next few days,
and a tropical depression could form before upper-level winds become
less favorable by late this weekend.  The system is forecast to move
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
