The National Hurricane Center said Oct. 5 that a tropical wave in the Atlantic has a "high" chance of cyclone formation as it approaches the Leeward Islands this week.

AL95 has a 70% chance of formation over seven days and a 40% chance of formation over 48 hours, the NHC said in a Tropical Weather Outlook issued at 2 p.m. ET .

"Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form this week as the system moves quickly across the central tropical Atlantic," the outlook reads.

Forecasters say that the broad area of low pressure is producing disorganized thunderstorms and showers several hundred miles south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.

Here's a look at the storms in the Atlantic and Gulf.
