000 ABNT20 KNHC 052350 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Tue Sep 5 2023 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Lee, located over the central tropical Atlantic. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL96): A broad low pressure system located several hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands and a nearby tropical wave are producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form later this week or this weekend while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the eastern tropical Atlantic. This system is expected to move across the Cabo Verde Islands Wednesday night and Thursday, and interests there should monitor its progress. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent. Northeastern Atlantic (ex-Franklin): Post-Tropical Cyclone Franklin, located a few hundred miles east-northeast of the Azores, is producing limited shower activity to the south and east of its center. This system could briefly acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next couple of days while it makes a counterclockwise loop over the northeastern Atlantic. By late this week, further development is not expected as the system is forecast to become increasingly elongated and weaken. For additional information on this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo France. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent. && Public Advisories on Lee are issued under WMO header WTNT33 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT3.
