Tropical Update
Tropical Storm Pablo continues to weaken over the far north Atlantic.
A large non-tropical low pressure system located more than 400 miles west of the Azores is producing a broad area of gale-force to hurricane-force winds. The low could gradually acquire subtropical characteristics over the next few days while the system moves slowly south to SE over warmer water. Environmental conditions are expected to become unfavorable for development by Friday when the low is forecast to move back over colder water.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (20%)
