This image at the far eastern extent of the GOES-14 full disk image shows thunderstorm activity associated with a large low pressure system located west of the Cape Verde Islands gradually becoming better organized. Environmental conditions are forecast to remain conducive for development and this system could become a tropical depression during the next day or so. GOES-14 is migrating eastward between now and November 2, 2012 to 75 degrees longitude as it assumes the duties of the GOES East operational satellite. This image was taken by GOES East at 1445Z on October 2, 2012.
