National Hurricane Center sees chance of cyclone southwest of Cape Verde Islands
(Reuters) - A low pressure area several hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands in the Atlantic has a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Monday.
The system was likely to form into a tropical depression within a day or two while moving generally west-northwestward, it said.
