SPECIAL TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1040 PM EDT TUE JUL 23 2013

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

SATELLITE-DERIVED WIND DATA INDICATE THAT THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS
IS PRODUCING WINDS TO NEAR GALE FORCE.  HOWEVER...THE ASSOCIATED
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY REMAINS SOMEWHAT LIMITED AND HAS NOT YET BEEN
PERSISTENT ENOUGH FOR THE LOW TO BE DESIGNATED AS A TROPICAL
CYCLONE.  IF THE THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE AND PERSIST...THEN THE LOW
COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM ON WEDNESDAY
AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 20 MPH.  THIS SYSTEM HAS A
HIGH CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING
THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
