Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...Major Major Hurricane Milton is near 25.8N 84.3W at 11 AM EDT, and is moving northeast at 15 kt.

Although environmental conditions are becoming less favorable for development, a short-lived tropical or subtropical storm could still form today or this evening while the low moves northeastward to east-northeastward at around 15 mph. This system has a medium chance of development in 48 hours and 7 days. Farther E, swells associated with Hurricane Leslie, forecast to remain E of the area, may impact the waters E of 60W today through Thu night.
