Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
100 AM EST Fri Nov 27 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A well-defined, non-tropical low pressure system located several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Little development is expected for the next day or two due to unfavorable upper-level winds. By late Saturday or Sunday, however, environmental conditions are expected to become a little more conducive for the low to acquire subtropical characteristics while it moves northeastward ahead of a frontal system. By early next week, conditions are expected to become unfavorable for further development as the system interacts with or becomes absorbed by a frontal system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.
2. Another non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form over the far eastern Atlantic during the weekend. This system could gradually gain subtropical characteristics while it moves slowly southward to the west of Portugal through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
