TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A non-tropical low pressure system located off the northeastern and mid-Atlantic coasts of the United States is producing widespread showers, a few thunderstorms, and storm-force winds. The low is expected to continue meandering off the coast during the next couple of days, but environmental conditions are not expected to be conducive for significant subtropical or tropical development, particularly after upper-level winds increase over the weekend. Strong winds, coastal flooding, heavy rainfall, and rough surf are expected to continue affecting portions of the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States coasts through Saturday. Additional information on this system can also be found in local products and High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
2. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the western Caribbean Sea late this weekend. This system is forecast to move westward toward Central America early next week, and some development is possible if the low remains over water while moving near the coasts of Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
