Tropical depression or a tropical storm to form within the next 24 hours

Early morning satellite images on this Tuesday indicate that the cloud pattern associated with the low pressure system located over the far eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean about 800 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has not changed very much in organization.

Environmental conditions, however, are favorable for a tropical depression or a tropical storm to form within the next 24 hours or so while the low moves westward or west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic.
