BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The National Hurricane Center is watching two systems, one with a 60 percent chance of formation over the next five days.

From the National Hurricane Center Friday afternoon, August 6, 2021:

1. A large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers located a few
   hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with
   a tropical wave and an associated broad area of low pressure.
   Environmental conditions appear somewhat conducive for gradual
   development over the next several days, and a tropical depression
   could form late this weekend or early next week while the system
   moves generally west-northwestward across the tropical Atlantic.

• Formation chance through 48 hours…low…30 percent.
• Formation chance through 5 days…medium…60 percent.

1. A tropical wave located over the west-central tropical Atlantic
   is producing limited shower activity. Development, if any, of this
   system is expected to be slow to occur as it moves west-
   northwestward and approaches the Lesser Antilles early next week.

• Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
• Formation chance through 5 days…low…20 percent.
