Tropical Update
Post-Tropical Cyclone Nicole continues moving generally north in the northern Atlantic. Nicole will be absorbed by another low pressure area by Thursday.
We are watching a low pressure area located just to the northeast of the southeastern Bahamas. It has become more concentrated this morning and surface observations indicate that pressures are falling in the area. The low is expected to slowly intensify as upper-level winds become more conducive and a subtropical or tropical cyclone could form during the next day or two as the low moves northward or north-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Medium (40%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: High (70%)
