150 AM EDT THU MAY 7 2015

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A non-tropical low pressure system located about 220 miles
south-southeast of the South Carolina-North Carolina border has been
nearly stationary the past several hours. Showers and thunderstorms
are gradually becoming better organized and environmental conditions
are expected to become more conducive for development over the next
day or so while this system moves slowly northward and then
northwestward.  A subtropical or tropical cyclone could form later
today or on Friday, and interests along the southeast coast of the
United States should monitor the progress of this system.  An Air
Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate
the low later this morning. Regardless of development, heavy rain is
possible over portions of the coastal southeastern United States
beginning later today.  The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook
will be issued on this system by 8 AM EDT this morning.  For
additional information, see products from your local National
Weather Service forecast office and High Seas Forecasts issued by
