Plain-language outlook

No organized storms are in the Atlantic right now, but two weak areas have a low chance of forming over the next 7 days. One may form in the northeastern Gulf this weekend and could become a tropical depression or weak tropical storm by early next week — mainly a rain and flooding threat for parts of the northeastern Gulf coast and nearby Southeast U.S. A cluster of storms southeast of Cabo Verde might try to organize the next couple days but will likely weaken before reaching land, so little impact expected.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

Northeastern Gulf of America:
An area of low pressure is expected to form during the weekend over 
the northeastern Gulf of America. Subsequent slow development of 
this system is possible while it moves slowly northeastward over the 
northeastern Gulf and or near the southeastern coast of the United 
States by early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave southeast 
of the Cabo Verde Islands have become a little better organized 
during the past 24 hours. Some additional slow development is 
possible over the next couple of days as the system moves generally 
west-northwestward.  After that, the system is expected to move into 
an environment that is not conducive for additional development by 
the weekend. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
