What happened
Tropical Storm Gonzalo formed from a Tropical Depression, the seventh of the season, less than 200 miles south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. The system has organized with winds of 40 to 45 mph north of its center and is moving northwestward to northward. Upper-level winds are expected to prevent further development over the weekend.

Why it matters
The storm is producing heavy rain and gusty winds. Residents in the Cabo Verde Islands should monitor the system's progress due to potential for flash flooding. Coastal areas of western Africa, including Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and southwest Mauritania, could also be affected by heavy rain and flash flooding.
