A tropical depression may form soon in the Atlantic. The El Niño phenomenon has been hindering hurricane activity in the Atlantic for weeks. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a zone in the tropical Atlantic with a high probability of developing into a tropical depression by the end of the week.

Another area in the north Atlantic has a lower chance of development, but only for the next day or so. Further details are available from the source, including information on the potential impact of El Niño on the development of tropical storms.
