Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Wed Aug 31 2022
For the North Atlantic… Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
- East of the Leeward Islands: Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands have gradually increased in organization over the past day or so. Although environmental conditions remain only marginally conducive, only slight additional development of the system over the next few days would lead to the formation of a tropical depression. The disturbance is forecast to move slowly west-northwestward, toward the adjacent waters of the northern Leeward Islands. 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…high…80 percent.
- Eastern Tropical Atlantic: Recent satellite wind data indicate that a broad area of low pressure is located just to the northeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. Although shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the system has diminished since earlier today, there is still a potential for the system to become a short-lived tropical depression within the next day or so before environmental conditions become unfavorable for further development. Regardless, the system could bring locally heavy rainfall to portions of the Cabo Verde Islands through Thursday. * Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days…medium…40 percent.
- Central Subtropical Atlantic: An area of low pressure located about 850 miles west-southwest of the westernmost Azores has changed little in organization since earlier today. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development, and a tropical or subtropical depression is likely to form within the next day or so, while the system drifts generally eastward. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent.
- Formation chance through 5 days…high…80 percent.
