The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Jose, located over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
1. A tropical wave located about 800 miles southwest of the Cabo Verde
Islands is producing disorganized cloudiness and showers.
Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual
development of this system, and a tropical depression will likely
form early next week while it moves westward at around 15 mph across
the tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.
2. 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.
