Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Near the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas:
A large tropical wave located near the Lesser Antilles continues to
produce a broad area of disorganized shower and thunderstorm
activity. Environmental conditions are forecast to gradually become
more conducive for development while the system moves generally
west-northwestward over the Greater Antilles and towards the
Bahamas. A tropical depression could form by this weekend while the
system is in the vicinity of the Greater Antilles, Bahamas, or near
Florida. Interests in the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and the
southeastern U.S. should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…60 percent.
