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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Franklin, located a couple of hundred miles north-northeast of 
Bermuda, on Tropical Storm Idalia, located near the coast of North 
Carolina, and on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Jose, located 
several hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda.

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms are gradually becoming better organized in 
association with an area of low pressure located just west of the 
Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear conducive for 
further development of this system, and a tropical depression is 
likely to form during the next couple of days while the system moves 
west-northwestward to northwestward across the eastern tropical 
Atlantic. Interests in the Cabo Verde Islands should monitor the 
progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. Central Subtropical Atlantic (Remnants of Gert):
A weak but well-defined area of low pressure located several hundred 
miles north-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands is producing 
limited shower and thunderstorm activity. This system has a short 
window for further development during the next day or so while it 
drifts northeastward or eastward before upper-level winds become 
increasingly unfavorable by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
