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

1. A surface trough interacting with an upper-level low continues to
produce an elongated area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms
about 700 miles southwest of the Azores. Environmental conditions
are expected to be conducive for a non-tropical low to form during
the next day or so, and the system could gradually acquire some
subtropical characteristics by the middle of next week while it
moves slowly northeastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…medium…40 percent.

For the eastern North Pacific…east of 140 degrees west longitude:

1. Recent reports from a nearby ship indicate that the low pressure
system located more than 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of
the Baja California peninsula has continued to become better
defined. Only a slight increase in the organization of the
associated thunderstorm activity would result in the formation of a
tropical depression on Sunday. By the middle of next week, however,
upper-level winds are expected become quite unfavorable for tropical
cyclone formation to occur. This system is forecast to move
west-northwestward to northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the open
eastern Pacific during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
