Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Tue Sep 3 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Caribbean Sea:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association
with a westward-moving tropical wave located over the eastern
Caribbean Sea. Environmental conditions are expected to become
more conducive for development when the system reaches the western
Caribbean Sea and southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this week, and
over the weekend, and a tropical depression could form during that
time.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic Ocean:
A tropical wave over the far eastern Atlantic is producing
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
are forecast to become a little more conducive for development, and
a tropical depression could form in a few days while the disturbance
moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward over the eastern
tropical Atlantic Ocean. This system could produce locally heavy
rains and gusty winds across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands in
a day or two.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
