Tropical Wave Getting Better Organized In Eastern Atlantic

While Danny has gained the bulk of the attention over the past few days, a tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic also deserves some concern. Hurricaneville has been monitoring the progress of this wave as well. Churning several hundred miles to the South-Southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, the wave has become better organized this morning as it continues westward. There is a possibility of some more gradual strengthening over the next couple of days, but there is still less than a 30 percent chance of this wave developing into a tropical cyclone over the next 48 hours. Models all indicate that the storm will continue to progress in a westward direction for the time being. However, some diverge to north of the islands while others have the disturbance going through the Southern Windwards. The web site will continue to monitor the progress of this system.
