(Reuters) – A tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic about 1,000 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 40% chance of becoming a cyclone over the next 48 hours, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Thursday.
“Environmental conditions appear a little more conducive for development during the next few days, and a tropical depression could form by the weekend,” the Miami-based NHC said in its latest advisory.
