Tropical Update
A trough of low pressure stretching from the central Caribbean to the southwestern Atlantic continues to produce a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual subtropical development of this system over the next few days while it drifts NNE. The system is then forecast to meander over the subtropical western Atlantic to the west or southwest of Bermuda. Upper-level winds are forecast to become less conducive for development by the end of the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (30%)
An area of low pressure could form over the eastern Caribbean Sea by early this weekend. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development as the low moves generally west or WNW into the central Caribbean by the end of the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (20%)
