000 ABNT20 KNHC 100524 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Sun Oct 10 2021 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A large non-tropical low pressure area is nearly stationary located about 100 miles southeast of Morehead City, North Carolina. While recent satellite wind data indicates that the center has become better defined while producing an area of gale-force winds in its northern semicircle, the associated shower and thunderstorm activity near the center is minimal and has not become better organized. This system could still become a short-lived subtropical storm later today, but environmental conditions should become unfavorable for any further development on Monday. The low is forecast to move slowly northward and approach eastern North Carolina later today. Interests in that area should monitor the progress of this system and refer to local National Weather Service office products for more information. Regardless of development, intermittent periods of locally heavy rains and gusty winds will affect southeastern and eastern portions of North Carolina during the next day or two. Additional information on this low pressure system, including gale warnings, 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...medium...50 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php $$ Forecaster Papin
