"A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG TROPICAL
WAVE...IS LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE
SOUTHERNMOST CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT
THIS SYSTEM IS WELL ORGANIZED...AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. ONLY A SMALL INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION
COULD RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE LOW MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 MPH.
THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS
AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF THE CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AND INTERESTS IN THOSE ISLANDS
SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM." - http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml
Looking very good for something only about a day off Africa:
