SPECIAL TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
745 PM EDT THU MAY 7 2015

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

Observations from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate that the area of low pressure located about 180 miles
south-southeast of the South Carolina-North Carolina border
continues to produce 40-45 mph winds mainly to the north and west
of the center.  Satellite images show some increase in the
associated thunderstorm activity and if this trend continues, the
system would become a subtropical cyclone later tonight.  The
low is expected to drift toward the north or north-northwest over
the next couple of days, and interests along the southeastern coast
of the United States should continue to monitor the progress of this
system.  Regardless of development, heavy rain is expected over
portions of the coastal southeastern United States for the next few
days.  For additional information, see products from your local
National Weather Service forecast office and High Seas Forecasts
issued by the National Weather Service.  The next Special Tropical
Weather Outlook on this system is scheduled for 2 AM EDT on Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent
