The system is expected to encounter a dryer which should be less favorable for development.

Satellite images indicate that the cloud pattern associated with the broad area of low pressure centered about 800 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has changed little in organization since yesterday. Environmental conditions are still favorable for a tropical cyclone to form within the next day or two while the low moves westward or west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic. After that time, the system is expected to encounter a dryer and more stable air mass, which should be less favorable for development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
