Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Wed Aug 28 2024

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

Western Atlantic:
A small area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southeast
of Bermuda is producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity
well to the northeast of its center. Dry air and strong upper-level
winds are expected to prevent development of this system while the
low moves generally north-northeastward at about 10 mph during the
next day or so.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.

Central Tropical Atlantic:
An area of disorganized showers over the central Tropical Atlantic
is associated with a tropical wave. Some slow development of this
system is possible this weekend into early next week while it
moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
