Development of this system, if any, should be slow to occur during the next couple of days due to unfavorable environmental conditions while the disturbance initially drifts northward and then accelerates eastward on Thursday. The disturbance is expected to interact with a frontal system by the end of the week, and further development is unlikely after that time. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over portions of Hispaniola, the Turks and Caicos, and the southeastern Bahamas during the next day or two. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster D.
