Tropical Cyclone Formation Favorable

MIAMI, August 1, 2010 - A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 900 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION ...BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE CENTER

HOWEVER...CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM AT ANY TIME DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE...90 PERCENT...OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
