For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
East of the Leeward Islands (AL94):
Recent satellite surface wind data showed the circulation associated
with a disturbance over the tropical Atlantic Ocean has become less
defined since yesterday. The trough of low pressure continues to
produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is
forecast to move generally westward to west-northwestward, and
environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for gradual
development during the latter part of this week. A tropical
depression could form as the system moves near the Leeward and
Virgin Islands late this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
Western Caribbean Sea:
Showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Caribbean Sea are
associated with a broad area of low pressure. Some gradual
development is possible if the system stays over water while it
moves slowly northwestward toward Central America. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of
Central America and southern Mexico later this week and into the
weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
A broad area of low pressure located over the central tropical
Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This
system is forecast to move generally westward to west-northwestward,
and environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for gradual
development during the latter part of this week. A tropical
depression could form as the system moves near the Leeward and
Virgin Islands late this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
Western Caribbean Sea:
Showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Caribbean Sea are
associated with a broad area of low pressure. Some gradual
development is possible if the system stays over water while it
moves slowly northwestward towards Central America. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of
Central America later this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

Remnants Of Leslie Discussion Number 41
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132024
300 PM GMT Sat Oct 12 2024
ASCAT-B data valid near 1300 UTC indicated that Leslie's fast
forward motion has caused it to open into a trough. Therefore, this
will be the last NHC advisory on Leslie. The ASCAT data indicated
that winds of 40-45 kt are still present on the east side of
Leslie's remnants, where it continues to produce limited deep
convection.
A mid-latitude frontal system is nearing the remnants of Leslie, and
the two systems are expected to merge within the next 12 h or so,
marking Leslie's full transition to a post-tropical cyclone. It is
possible that Leslie will redevelop a closed circulation as a
non-tropical low at that point. The cyclone is expected to turn
eastward on Sunday, bringing it very near or over the Azores late
Sunday and through early Monday. By Monday afternoon, Leslie's
center is expected to become poorly defined again as it interacts
with another weaker mid-latitude cyclone to the east of the Azores.
Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header
NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at
