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 about 1100 miles east of the Windward Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression will likely form during the next 2-3 days while the system moves westward to west-northwestward across the central and western tropical Atlantic. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system. Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…60 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days…high…80 percent.
