    DDM if you're going to publish something like this you should give the full synopsis from the national hurricane center to give a true picture of what's going on.

    1. A tropical wave located about 1000 miles west-southwest of the Cabo
    Verde Islands is moving west-northwestward at about 20 mph. Shower
    and thunderstorm activity associated with this system has become
    limited, and environmental conditions are expected to remain
    unfavorable for significant development of this disturbance.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
