For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
1. Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL90):
Recent satellite data indicates that the low pressure system located
more than 600 miles east-northeast of Bermuda is producing
gale-force winds. However, the shower and thunderstorm activity
remains disorganized. Environmental conditions are still marginally
favorable for further development, and an increase in thunderstorm
activity could result in the formation of a short-lived tropical
depression or tropical storm today or tonight. By Tuesday, this
system is expected to encounter unfavorable environmental
conditions, ending its opportunity for development. The system is
forecast to move northeastward around 10 to 15 mph, remaining over
the open central Atlantic. For additional information, including
gale warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
