000 ABNT20 KNHC 020537 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Mon Oct 2 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: An elongated surface trough of low pressure interacting with an upper-level low is producing widespread cloudiness and scattered showers across much of the northwestern Caribbean Sea, the Yucatan peninsula, Belize, Honduras, and Guatemala. Although surface pressures are unusually low across the region, strong upper-level winds and the large disturbance's proximity to land should prevent any significant organization for the next few days. However, environmental conditions could become a little more favorable for the development of a low pressure system by the end of the week across the northwestern Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico while the system moves little or drifts northward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. $$ Forecaster Stewart
