It's located a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands in West Africa.

"This system is forecast to move generally westward to west-southwestward," according to the National Hurricane Center, "and environmental conditions could become more favorable for gradual development by the middle to latter part of this week.

"A tropical depression could form as the system begins moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near the Leeward Islands by the end of this week."

The next named storms will be called Nadine and Oscar.
