Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Fri Aug 9 2024

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

Active Systems:
The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on Post-Tropical
Cyclone Debby, located inland over the northeastern United States.

Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles:
A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located well
to the west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands over the tropical
Atlantic is associated with a tropical wave. Any development of the
wave should be slow to occur during the next couple of days while it
moves westward to west-northwestward across the central tropical
Atlantic. Conditions are expected to become more conducive for
development thereafter, and a tropical depression could form by
early next week while the system approaches and then moves near or
over the Lesser Antilles. The system is forecast to continue moving
generally west-northwestward and could approach portions of the
Greater Antilles by the middle part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
