Watching for potential development in the Atlantic this week

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave in the far eastern tropical Atlantic several hundred miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. Invest 92L, as its being called, is currently just an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. However, environmental conditions appear conducive for development and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of the week as the system continues to move westward.

The National Hurricane Center is giving the area a 30% chance of development over the next 2 days and 80% chance over the next 7 days, as of Sunday morning. If it becomes a tropical storm, it would be given the name Sean.
