Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook

From the National Hurricane Center:

For the North Atlantic Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Omar, located a few hundred miles northwest of Bermuda, and on Tropical Storm Nana, located a couple hundred miles northeast of the coast of Honduras. Showers and T-Storms associated with an area of low pressure located about midway between the Windward Islands and west Africa remain disorganized. Some development of this system, however, is possible this week as it meanders over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours low 20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days low 30 percent. Surface observations and satellite derived data indicate that a tropical wave has emerged off the coast of Africa. The wave is expected to merge with a disturbance centered a couple of hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands in the next day or so. Gradual development of this system is then possible, and a tropical depression could form by this weekend while it moves westward over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours low 10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days medium 60 percent. Public Advisories on Tropical Storm Nana are issued under WMO header WTNT31 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT1. Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Storm Nana are issued under WMO header WTNT21 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCMAT1. Forecaster Roberts
