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

1. A nearly stationary area of low pressure located about 200 miles 
south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina continues to produce 
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions 
could briefly become marginally conducive for the low to acquire 
subtropical characteristics by Saturday night and early Sunday. By 
early next week, environmental conditions should become unfavorable 
for any further development. The low is forecast to begin moving 
slowly toward the west-northwest tonight and then northwest on 
Saturday, bringing the system closer to the coasts of the Carolinas. 
Therefore, interests along these coasts should monitor the progress 
of this system. 

Regardless of development, intermittent periods of locally heavy 
rains and gusty winds will affect eastern portions of the Carolinas 
through the weekend. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is 
scheduled to investigate the system Saturday afternoon, if 
necessary.  Additional information on this system, including gale 
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National 
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
