Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Fri Sep 2 2022

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Danielle, located about 900 miles west of the Azores.

East of the Leeward Islands:
Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft earlier 
this afternoon indicated that the circulation associated with an 
area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles east of the 
northern Leeward Islands has become better defined today, and the 
plane reported that surface pressures have fallen a bit.  If the 
showers and thunderstorms associated with the low persist through 
the evening, the system could become a tropical depression or 
tropical storm as early as tonight.  

The disturbance is expected to move generally west-northwestward at 
about 10 mph, passing near or just to the north of the northern 
Leeward Islands on Saturday, and north of the Virgin Islands and 
Puerto Rico Saturday night and Sunday.  Regardless of development, 
locally heavy rains may occur over portions of the northern Leeward 
Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico during the next couple 
of days, and interests in those areas should monitor the progress 
of the system.  Additional information on this system can be found 
in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. 
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
