For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
An elongated area of low pressure centered several hundred miles 
west of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large, but 
disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms on its east side, 
extending toward the westernmost Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental 
conditions appear, at best, only marginally conducive for 
development of this system before upper-level winds become too 
strong for any further development on Tuesday. Regardless, heavy 
rainfall is expected to continue for the next day or two across 
western portions of the Cabo Verde Islands, and some flooding is 
possible there as the system moves slowly northward to 
north-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
