Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Fiona, located just southeast of the Turks and Caicos islands.
1. Central Subtropical Atlantic:
Shower and thunderstorm activity continues to increase in
association with an area of low pressure located over the central
subtropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions appear marginally
favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression is
likely to form over the next couple of days before upper-level winds
become less conducive later this week. The system should generally
move northward or northeastward while remaining over the open waters
of central subtropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
2. Central Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Windward
Islands is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Gradual development of this system is forecast
during the next several days as the system approaches the Windward
Islands, and a tropical depression could form toward the latter
part of this week or weekend as the system moves into the eastern
and central Caribbean sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
