000 ABNT20 KNHC 052344 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Wed Oct 5 2022 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Twelve, located several hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Eastern Caribbean Sea: An area of low pressure located over the far southeastern Caribbean Sea is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms over the southern Windward Islands, northern South America, and adjacent waters. While surface observations do suggest broad rotation and pressures are lower than 24 hours ago, there currently is no definitive proof that a well-defined circulation exists. While land interaction with the northern coast of South America may hinder significant development during the next day or so, environmental conditions are expected to be generally favorable for development as the system moves westward, and a tropical depression is likely to form in the next couple of days by the time the system enters the south-central Caribbean Sea. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall with localized flooding, as well as gusty winds to gale force, are expected over portions of the Windward Islands, northern portions of South America, and the ABC Islands during the next day or two. Interests in those locations, in addition to those in Central America, should continue to monitor the progress of this system. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. && Key messages for the disturbance over the far southeastern Caribbean Sea can be found on the National Hurricane Center website at www.hurricanes.gov $$ Forecaster Papin
