At the time of this image, disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity continued in association with an elongated area of low pressure that extended from the northeastern coast of South America into the central tropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for gradual development of this system during the next few days as it approaches the Lesser Antilles and moves into the Caribbean Sea. This image was taken by GOES East at 1745Z on August 19, 2014.
