Invest 93L moving west in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean

A strong tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean has a high likelihood of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. The National Hurricane Center gives the disturbance a 70% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours, and a 80% chance of it becoming a tropical cyclone in the next five days. In the near term, conditions are favorable for intensification, but the environment will likely become a bit less favorable as the system moves west through the Atlantic Ocean later this week. The system is moving west at 10-15 mph. It is about 2,500 miles east of the eastern Caribbean islands.

The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring a disturbance in the western Caribbean Sea.
