Santo Domingo.- An area of downpours continued to circulate, as late Monday afternoon, between the west of the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles Archipelago, and, according to the United States National Hurricane Center (CNH), it is possible that a tropical depression could form in the middle of this week.
The system is moving west between ten and 15 miles per hour (16 and 24 kilometers), and although it has not found a favorable environment for its development, it is possible that it will become better organized as it moves towards warmer water.
Its cloud field is very limited and it is expected to continue its trajectory towards the north-northwest in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the forecast.

«A low pressure, located east of the Lesser Antilles, is producing rain and thunderstorms. It is in a dry environment, and is unlikely to develop within two days. It will move westward over warmer water, and conditions may become favorable for its development by midweek, and a tropical depression may form,” the CNH says.
The disturbance, which has a potential of 60% in seven days, would pass north of the Dominican Republic, according to the projection.
For its part, the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet) predicted rain showers for this Tuesday in several provinces, due to the presence of a trough.
The torrents will be recorded in Juan Sánchez Ramírez, Duarte, Monte Cristi, Dajabón, Valverde, Santiago Rodríguez, Puerto Plata, San Juan, Elías Piña, San José de Ocoa, Barahona, Pedernales, San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Samaná, Monseñor Nouel, La Vega and Independencia,
