Elsewhere, the remnants of Peter have a medium chance of redeveloping in the central Atlantic during the next day or two. A wave is emerging into the eastern Atlantic, and it has a high chance of becoming a depression during the next five days. And a low is forming in the tropical Atlantic, east of Sam but west of the wave in the eastern Atlantic. This feature has a high chance of developing during the next five days.
