Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

200 AM EDT Sat Aug 31 2019

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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane

Dorian, located a few hundred miles east of the northwestern

Bahamas.

A tropical wave located about midway between the coast of Africa

and the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized

showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear

conducive for development of this system, and a tropical depression

could form next week while the system moves westward to

west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern tropical

Atlantic Ocean. Heavy rainfall is possible over portions of the

southern Cabo Verde Islands during the next few days, and interests

on those islands should monitor the progress of this system.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the southeastern Gulf

of Mexico are associated with a broad area of low pressure. Some

slow development of this system is possible during the next several

days while it moves generally westward across the southern and

southwestern Gulf of Mexico at 5 to 10 mph.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
