000 ABNT20 KNHC 050508 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Wed Jul 5 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Satellite images continue to indicate that the cloud pattern associated with the broad area of low pressure centered about 800 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has changed little in organization since yesterday. Environmental conditions remain favorable for a tropical cyclone to form within the next day or two while the low moves westward or west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic. After that time, the system is expected to encounter a drier and more stable air mass, which should be less favorable for development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent. $$ Forecaster Beven
