A tropical depression has formed in the eastern Atlantic, but doesn't pose any threat to land.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the eighth tropical depression of the season formed Friday afternoon. It had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and could soon become a tropical storm.

But forecasters say it is supposed to weaken after that.

The system is about 505 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. It is moving toward the northwest near 14 mph.
