000 ABNT20 KNHC 301738 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 PM EDT SAT JUL 30 2016 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A strong tropical wave located about 550 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving westward at 25 to 30 mph and is accompanied by increasing shower activity. However, surface observations and satellite wind data show that pressures are relatively high in the area and that there are no signs of a circulation. During the next day or two, development should be slow to occur due to the rapid motion of the system. Regardless of development, this system will likely bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola, and interests in these areas should monitor its progress. By the middle of next week, the disturbance is expected to be in the western Caribbean Sea, where conditions are likely to be more conducive for development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered about 400 miles southwest of Cabo Verde continues to lose organization. Development of this system is becoming less likely due to unfavorable upper-level winds. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent $$ Forecaster Beven
