A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC, IS MOVING SLOWLY WESTWARD AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM BY LATE THIS WEEK OR THIS WEEKEND.
