Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Tue Aug 7 2018

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

1. Early visible satellite images indicate that the shower activity
associated with a non-tropical low pressure system located a little
more than 900 miles west-southwest of the Azores continues to
show some signs of organization. Although the shower activity has
decreased somewhat during the past few hours, this system could
still acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics later today.
By Wednesday, however, the low will encounter increasingly cooler
waters, which will hinder development while the system moves toward
the north-northeast over the open North Atlantic. Additional
information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts
issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…medium…60 percent.

High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be
found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and
