Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

800 AM EDT Fri Sep 28 2018

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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical

Storm Kirk, located over the eastern Caribbean Sea.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie is located over the central Atlantic

Ocean, several hundred miles west of the Azores. Shower activity

has gradually increased near the center of the cyclone since last

night and Leslie is expected to once again become a subtropical

storm later today or tomorrow. Earlier satellite data indicated

that the powerful low is producing storm-force winds that extend

several hundred miles from the center, and Leslie will likely

continue producing strong winds and high seas over a large portion

of the central Atlantic for the next few days regardless of when it

completes its transition to a subtropical storm. For more

information on this system, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the

National Weather Service.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be

found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and
