The system southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is still being watched, but its odds of development have eased slightly with the 8:00 update from the National Hurricane Center.
Showers and storms associated with the wave remain disorganized, and while conditions are still somewhat favorable for the next couple of days, forecasters have lowered the formation chances from "high" to "medium."
