But some strengthening was forecast and the National Hurricane Center (web|news) said early Thursday that the depression could become a tropical storm later in the day.
The storm is located about 250 miles south-southeast of the Cape Verde Islands.
The depression is moving toward the west-northwest at about 9 mph, and forecasters are expecting that to continue with some increase in speed over the next couple days.
