Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

200 AM EDT Fri Aug 23 2019



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



The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical

Depression Chantal, located about 850 miles southeast of Cape

Race, Newfoundland.



Recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that a weak area of low

pressure is located between the southeastern coast of Florida and

Andros Island in the northwestern Bahamas. The system is producing

a large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers that extend

primarily northeast of the center over the adjacent Atlantic Ocean.

The low is forecast to move near or over Florida later today, which

should limit development during the next day or so. Environmental

conditions appear conducive for development once the system moves

back over the Atlantic waters, and a tropical depression could form

over the weekend or early next week while the low moves near the

coast of east-central Florida and then offshore of the southeastern

United States coast. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains

are possible over the northwestern Bahamas and southern and central

Florida during the next few days.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
