...TROPICAL WAVES...

An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 22W, south
of 20N, moving W at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated
strong convection is observed from 08N to 15N and between 20W
and 30W. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development over the next several days while the system moves
westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern
and central tropical Atlantic. A tropical depression could form
by the middle to latter portion of this week before environmental
conditions become less favorable by this weekend. The current
outlook gives the disturbance has a medium chance of development
during the next 5 days.
