The monitoring center anticipates the potential formation of a tropical depression by the latter part of this week as the system traverses the central tropical Atlantic. The chance of development over the next 48 hours stands at 30%, while the seven-day forecast maintains a 70% probability. Earlier, the forecast had been at 60% for seven days and 20% for the initial 48 hours. Its development chances remain at 10% for both the next 48 hours and seven days. The NHC predicts that the system will encounter cooler waters by Thursday, likely ending any chance of further organization.
