000 ABNT20 KNHC 061147 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 800 AM EDT SAT SEP 6 2014 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A weak area of low pressure near the coast of Georgia continues to produce disorganized cloudiness and showers, mainly over the Atlantic coastal waters. Development of this system appears unlikely while it drifts northeastward over the southeastern United States during the next couple of days. After that time, this system could merge with a frontal zone over the western Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. Shower activity associated with an area of low pressure a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has increased and become a little better organized this morning. However, significant development of this system is not expected due to a unfavorable dry air mass that prevails over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. A tropical wave is forecast to move off of the west coast of Africa by late Sunday. Environmental conditions could support slow development of this system early next week while it moves toward the west or west-northwest over the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...30 percent. $$ Forecaster Kimberlain
