Area of Low Pressure in Atlantic Getting Better Organized

The area of low pressure in the Atlantic we have been watching is getting better organized. Shower and thunderstorm activity has been developing closer to the center. It sits 250 miles northeast of the northern Leeward islands. It could become a tropical or subtropical depression over the next day or so. Regardless of development, the system will remain over the open waters of the Atlantic. By mid to late week, it will get absorbed into a front which will help inhibit further development.

Broad Area of Low Pressure in Central Atlantic

We are watching a broad area of low pressure sitting 350 miles east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. Right now, it is a disorganized area of showers and storms, producing 30 mph winds on its northeast side. It could become a tropical or subtropical depression in the next couple of days. But it will be moving northwest and north over the open Atlantic, not affecting any land areas. After midweek, upper level shear increases as it gets absorbed into an approaching frontal boundary, so additional development is unlikely.
