(Reuters) – There is a 70% chance a system about 400 miles southeast of the southern Cape Verde islands could strengthen into a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Tuesday.
“Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression to form during the next couple of days while the system moves generally westward at about 15 mph across the eastern tropical Atlantic ocean,” the Miami-based NHC said.
