731 ABNT20 KNHC 131728 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Wed Oct 13 2021 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Satellite-derived wind data and surface observations indicate that a broad low pressure system has formed about 200 miles northeast of the Turks and Caicos. This system is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms mainly over the open Atlantic to the north and east of the low. Further development, if any, of this disturbance should be slow to occur during the next couple of days due to unfavorable upper-level winds. The system is forecast to move slowly northeastward through tonight, then accelerate eastward on Thursday. Toward the end of the week, further development is not anticipated since the disturbance will be interacting with a frontal system. The threat of locally heavy rainfall across portions of Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos will diminish by tonight. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Stewart
