000 ABNT20 KNHC 051147 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 800 AM EDT MON SEP 5 2016 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Post-Tropical Cyclone Hermine, located off of the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave located over eastern Caribbean have decreased since yesterday. Although strong winds, possibly to tropical storm force, could still be occurring in association with this system, development of the wave is unlikely while it moves westward across the Caribbean Sea this week. This disturbance could continue to produce periods of locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds over portions of the Lesser Antilles early today, and over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola later today and on Tuesday. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent A low pressure area associated with a tropical wave is expected to form several hundred miles southwest or west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands late this week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for slow development of this system after that time while the system moves west-northwestward into the central tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent $$ Forecaster Kimberlain
