Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
100 AM EST Mon Nov 23 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A broad, non-tropical low pressure system located a couple hundred miles east of the central Bahamas is producing widespread cloudiness but limited shower activity. There is a slight chance that the system could acquire some subtropical characteristics as it moves northeastward over the next day or so. On Tuesday, however, the disturbance is expected to merge with a cold front. Later in the week, this system may have a second opportunity to develop subtropical characteristics if it becomes separated from the front and meanders over the central Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
