(Reuters) – An area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cape Verde Islands has a 90% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Saturday, adding that further development was expected and a tropical depression could likely form today.
“The system is forecast to move generally westward at 10 to 15 mph for the next few days, and then turn west-northwestward or northwestward starting Tuesday,” the Miami-based forecaster said.
