Tropical Depression Two formed Thursday morning in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The current coordinates for the system:

11:00 AM AST Thu Jul 5
Location: 10.2°N 41.4°W
Moving: W at 16 mph
Min pressure: 1009 mb
Max sustained: 35 mph

Satellite images indicate that the shower activity associated with a small area of low pressure and a tropical wave located between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles remains well organized, and a tropical depression could form at any time soon.

This disturbance is forecast to move westward or west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. However, in a few days, the upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable, and the system is expected to degenerate into a trough of low pressure before it approaches the Lesser Antilles.
