    Disturbance 1: 10% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 2:00 am EDT Sat Sep 9 2017 ...

    A tropical wave located several hundred miles southeast of the Cabo
    Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
    Some gradual development of this system is possible during the next
    few days while it moves west-northwestward over the eastern Atlantic
    Ocean.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.

    Aw geeeez...

    Will do, as long as power. I wonder if Atlanta will lose power? Ironic.

    This seasons ridiculous with constant systems.

    1. Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave
    located several hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands has
    become somewhat better organized today. Environmental conditions
    are expected to support at least some additional development, and a
    tropical depression could form in a few days while the system moves
    generally northwestward over the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
