000 ABNT20 KNHC 190532 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT SAT SEP 19 2015 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Nine, located a little more than 900 miles east-northeast of the Lesser Antilles, and on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Ida, located about a thousand miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. An area of low pressure located about 200 miles east of the northeast Florida coast is producing disorganized cloudiness and showers mainly to the east of the center. Environmental conditions are expected to be somewhat conducive for this low to acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next few days while it moves slowly northeastward off the southeast coast of the United States. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system later today, if necessary. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains could occur over portions of the Florida Peninsula and coastal areas of Georgia and South Carolina.
