Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Thu Aug 24 2023

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Franklin, located a couple of hundred miles east-northeast of 
the Turks and Caicos Islands. 

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure has developed over the northwestern 
Caribbean Sea just off the northeastern coast of Honduras, producing 
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.  Environmental 
conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system 
during the next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form late this weekend or early next week while moving generally 
northward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of 
Mexico.  Interests in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, western Cuba, 
and Florida should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

Central Subtropical Atlantic (Remnants of Emily):
A trough of low pressure located about 950 miles east of Bermuda 
(the remnants of former Tropical Storm Emily) is producing an 
elongated area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  This 
system could still become a short-lived tropical depression or storm 
during the next day or so before it reaches colder waters and merges 
with a frontal boundary.  For additional information on this system, 
including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with 
an area of low pressure located midway between the Cabo Verde 
Islands and the northern Lesser Antilles.  Environmental conditions 
could become more conducive for development in a few days, and a 
tropical depression could form by early next week while the system 
moves generally northwestward toward the central subtropical 
Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
