000 ABNT20 KNHC 301147 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 AM EDT Sun Oct 30 2022 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Central Caribbean: A broad area of low pressure over the central Caribbean Sea continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. However, overnight satellite wind data suggest the circulation is gradually becoming better defined. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to form in the next couple of days while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central and northwestern Caribbean Sea. Interests in Jamaica should monitor the progress of this system. NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft will be investigating the system this morning. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over portions of the Lesser Antilles, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and Jamaica during the next couple of days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent. Western Atlantic: Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased in association with an area of low pressure area located a little more than 100 miles northeast of Bermuda. However, this system is forecast to interact and merge with a nearby frontal zone as upper-level winds increase over the system. Thus, subtropical or tropical development of this system remains unlikely. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Papin
