The combination of an upper-level trough and a tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms between Cuba and Honduras. Upper-level winds could become somewhat more conducive for some development when the system moves into the Gulf of Mexico in a couple of days while the system moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. A non-tropical area of low pressure is forecast to form in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean several hundred miles west-southwest of the Azores in two or three days. Some slow tropical or subtropical development is possible by the middle of the week while the low moves southwestward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent. $$ Forecaster Blake
