Leslie, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on
Hurricane Milton, located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Southwestern Atlantic:
A broad area of low pressure has formed near the northern Bahamas
and is expected to move northeastward into the southwestern Atlantic

during the next day or so while the low moves northeastward to
east-northeastward around 15 mph. Upper-level winds are likely to

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa in

while it moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern
tropical Atlantic, moving near the Cabo Verde Islands on Thursday or
early Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
