As far as the tropics go- Two tropical systems are developing off the coast of Africa.
We have been watching a Tropical Wave in the Central Tropical Atlantic. It continues to produce rain and storms that are becoming more organized. A tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form over the next day or so from the system. Formation chances for the next 48 and 7 days are currently 90 percent.
The second system is in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic, just a couple hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands. It remains disorganized and has only a 10 to 20 percent chance of developing over the next 48 hours to 7 days.
