Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sat Oct 24 2020

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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Epsilon, located over the west-central Atlantic Ocean.

Satellite, radar and surface data indicate that a broad area of low 
pressure located just southwest of Grand Cayman Island is gradually 
becoming better organized, with a better defined wind circulation, 
increasing thunderstorm activity and falling surface pressures since 
yesterday. Environmental conditions are conducive for further 
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within 
the next day or so while the low drifts toward the north and 
northwest.  The system could move near western Cuba on Monday and 
move slowly across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday.  
Interests in western Cuba, the Florida Keys, and the Yucatan 
Peninsula should monitor the progress of this disturbance.  A NOAA 
Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate 
the disturbance this afternoon. Regardless of development, locally 
heavy rainfall will be possible over portions of the Cayman Islands, 
Jamaica and Cuba through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
