Summary
Invest 96-L, a low-pressure system south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, is likely to form a tropical depression within the next day or two, the National Hurricane Center said.
Showers and thunderstorms tied to a tropical wave are fueling the system, and the NHC said conditions should stay somewhat favorable as it moves west to west-northwest across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.
The agency put development chances at 60% over both the next 48 hours and the next seven days.
That outlook could fade by the weekend, when less favorable conditions are expected to limit any further strengthening.
