Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL93): A tropical wave (click here) located several hundred miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear favorable for further development of this system, and a tropical depression could form in a couple of days while the system moves westward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.

Surface Ocean Temperatures (click here) with Cabo Verde Islands surface water temperature 72 to 74 Fahrenheit. There is a lot of open ocean to allow this to develop into a hurricane.
