Another tropical wave, located south of the Cabo Verde Islands, is
producing a large area of shower and thunderstorm activity. This
system has become much better organized since yesterday and could
become a tropical depression during the next couple of days before
upper-level winds become less conducive for development. The
disturbance is forecast to move westward to west-northwestward at 10
to 15 mph across the far eastern tropical Atlantic for the next
several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Lee was
located near latitude 15.0 North, longitude 42.3 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph. A turn
to the northwest with a decrease in forward speed is expected to
occur tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is expected, and Lee is forecast to degenerate into
a remnant low tonight or Tuesday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).

Uh oh. Last one I did that to was, gulp, Harvey!

he's backkkk????



Showers and thunderstorms have increased near a low pressure area,
the remnants of Lee, located about 1000 miles east of the Leeward
Islands. Satellite wind data show that the low is already producing
gale-force winds, and only a small increase in the organization of
the deep convection would result in the regeneration of Lee.
However, the environmental conditions are only marginal favorable
for tropical cyclone formation. This low is expected to move
northward over the central Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
