Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
700 AM EST Wed Nov 15 2023

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

1. Southwestern Caribbean Sea:
A broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the 
southwestern Caribbean Sea is associated with a trough of low 
pressure. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for 
development of this system, and a tropical depression could still 
form by the weekend while the system begins moving northeastward 
across the western and central portions of the Caribbean Sea. 
Interests in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the 
southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands should 
monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, this 
system has the potential to produce heavy rains over portions of the 
Caribbean coast of Central America and the Greater Antilles through 
the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

2. Offshore Southeast Coast of United States:
A non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to develop near 
southern Florida along a surface trough over the next day or so. 
This system is then forecast to move northeastward near the Bahamas 
and offshore of the east coast of the U.S. late this week and over 
the weekend. Although development into a tropical cyclone appears 
unlikely, this system is expected to produce gusty winds and heavy 
rains across portions of southern Florida, the Florida Keys, and the 
Bahamas during the next couple of days.  For more information on 
this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued 
by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
