(Reuters) – A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has an 80% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Tuesday.
A tropical depression is likely to form within the next day or two while the system moves westward at 10-15 miles per hour across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean, the NHC said.
