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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Joaquin, located near the central Bahamas.

A non-tropical area of low pressure centered over the central
Atlantic about 700 miles southeast of Bermuda is producing a large
area of cloudiness and thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions
are expected to be conducive for the low to gradually obtain
more tropical characteristics, and a tropical depression is
likely to form in within a few days while the low moves slowly
north-northwestward to northward. Additional information on this
system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent
