608 ABNT20 KNHC 070531 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Tue Aug 7 2018 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Satellite data indicate that thunderstorm activity during the past several hours has increased and become better organized in association with a well-defined, non-tropical low pressure system centered about 950 miles west-southwest of the Azores. Environmental conditions are expected to be somewhat conducive for the system to acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics later today. By Wednesday, however, the low will encounter increasingly cooler waters, which will hinder development while the system moves toward the north-northeast over the open North Atlantic. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and on the Web at https://ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml. $$ Forecaster Stewart
