The tropics remain void of any recent cyclones, but there are a few areas that are being watched for development in the Atlantic and Pacific.

The Atlantic has a couple of areas that are being observed for development. One is a tropical wave in the Caribbean is producing some confused showers and storms. The other is an region of low pressure in the Central Atlantic about 700 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Neither of these areas is supposed to develop into a tropical cyclone (either a tropical depression or tropical storm) in the next couple of days. Some computer models recommend that the low in the Central Atlantic may develop early next week.

In the Eastern Pacific, there is a disorganized area of low pressure a few hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec that is producing some spell of rains and thunderstorms. It has become better prearranged somewhat during the overnight hours; however, it is only expected to develop slowly in the next couple of days.
