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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Leslie, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on 
Hurricane Milton, located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. 

1. Southwestern Atlantic:
A broad area of low pressure has formed near the northern Bahamas 
and is expected to move northeastward into the southwestern Atlantic 
later today.  Some additional development of this system is possible 
during the next day or so while the low moves northeastward to 
east-northeastward around 15 mph.  Upper-level winds are likely to 
increase later in the week, which should limit further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa in 
a couple of days. Afterward, environmental conditions appear only 
marginally favorable for some limited development of this system 
while it moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern 
tropical Atlantic, moving near the Cabo Verde Islands on Thursday or 
early Friday. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
