000 ABNT20 KNHC 061725 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 200 PM EDT Wed Sep 6 2023 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Lee, located over the central tropical Atlantic. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL96): A tropical wave is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the far eastern Atlantic between the Cabo Verde Islands and the west coast of Africa. 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 today and tonight, 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): Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with Post-Tropical Cyclone Franklin, located a few hundred miles east-northeast of the Azores, has become a little better organized today. Although environmental conditions are only marginally favorable for additional development this system could briefly acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next day or so, while it moves northeastward or northward over the northeastern Atlantic. By Friday, further development is not expected as the system is forecast to move into unfavorable environmental conditions, which should cause it to weaken. For additional information, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo France. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent. && Additional information on Post-Tropical Cyclone Franklin can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo France under WMO header FQNT50 LFPW and online at www.meteofrance.com/previsions-meteo-marine/bulletin/grandlarge/ metarea2 $$ Forecaster Kelly/Brown
