San Ignacio town, Cayo. Tuesday, September 15, 2015. Two systems are being monitored in the far Atlantic Ocean for signs of further development.

The first is a low pressure system midway between Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles.

Forecasters at the Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) say that some development is possible in the coming days and give it a 60% chance of development into a named storm.

The window of opportunity will close significantly by the weekend as upper-level winds will become unfavourable.

The low pressure system is on a northwestward track at about 10 miles per hour.

The second system is a broad area of low pressure about 300 miles south-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands.

Forecasters say conditions will become favorable for formation of a tropical depression in the coming days.

The system is moving west-northwestward at between 10 and 15 miles per hour.
