Possible NHC DevelopmentLate This Week Near The Leeward Islands
The westernmost area of interest is now producing a broad area of thunderstorm activity as it continues its westward journey across the Atlantic between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
This is expected to enter an environment more conducive to development in the coming days and could become a tropical depression late this week or weekend. Regardless of further development, it will create unsettled weather near and around the Leeward Islands by Friday, including some areas soaked by outer rainbands of Erin last weekend.
While it's too early to know what track this storm would take if it is named beyond Friday, this one is worth watching closely. Check back often for more details, as we continue to keep a close eye on any development.
The next two storm names on the hurricane list are Fernand and Gabrielle.
Easternmost Area Of Interest
There is a new tropical low located south of the Cabo Verde Islands just off the coast of western Africa. The low has been tagged Invest 99L by the National Hurricane Center.

The NHC says Invest 99L will enter conditons that are "marginally favorable" for development during the next day or so. We could see a short-lived tropical depression form before environmental conditions become less likely to support tropical activity.
There is a very long time to watch this cluster of thunderstorms before it would be of any concern to the Caribbean or United States.
