The Storm Station is tracking the tropics, as of now development will not impact the local viewing area. We are watching as Invest 92L continues to strengthen in the central Atlantic.

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to become better organized in
association with a broad area of low pressure located several
hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional
development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is expected
to form later today or tonight. This system is forecast to move
generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the central tropical
Atlantic through the middle part of this week. Additional
information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in
High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located several
hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with a
tropical wave. Some gradual development of this system is possible
through the middle and latter parts of this week as it moves
westward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern and central tropical
Atlantic.
