There are two areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin. The one closer to the US East Coast is expected to keep moving north and stay out to sea. It currently has 50% odds to become a tropical depression within the next 7 days as well as within the next 48 hours. The other disturbance is coming off the west coast of Africa. It has 30% odds to become a depression in the next 48 hours and 60% odds within the next 7 days. This one could warrant closer attention if it meanders towards the Caribbean.
