Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Earl, located about 100 miles southeast of Bermuda.
1. Central Tropical Atlantic:
A gale-force low pressure system located about 1200 miles east of
the Leeward Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms that are displaced well to the northeast of the
circulation center due to strong upper-level winds. Although the
upper-level winds are expected to remain strong, the low still has
some opportunity during the next day or so to become a short-lived
tropical cyclone while moving toward the west-northwest at about 15
mph into the central subtropical Atlantic. For more information on
this system, including gale warnings, please refer to the High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave located several hundred miles south of the Cabo
Verde Islands is producing a disorganized area of showers and
thunderstorms. Development of this system, if any, is expected to
be slow to occur while it moves westward or west-northwestward at
15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic
through the middle of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
