Ocean, and on Tropical Depression Twelve, located over the eastern
tropical Atlantic Ocean.

Western Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:

while the disturbance moves slowly west-northwestward.  This system
is then expected to move northwestward into the Gulf of Mexico
during the latter portion of this week.  Interests in the
northwestern Caribbean Sea and along the U.S. Gulf Coast should
monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave located a few hundred miles south-southeast of the
Cabo Verde Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm
activity.  Upper-level winds are forecast to become more conducive
for gradual development of this system during the next few days, and
a tropical depression could form during the middle or latter part of
this week while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward over
the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
