From the National Hurricane Center:

For the North Atlantic Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Paulette, located near Bermuda, on Tropical Depression Rene, located over the central Atlantic, on Tropical Storm Sally, centered over the north-central Gulf of Mexico, on recently upgraded Tropical Storm Teddy, located over the east-central tropical Atlantic, and on newly formed Tropical Depression Twenty-One, located over the eastern tropical Atlantic. Disorganized showers and T-Storms over the western and southwestern Gulf of Mexico are associated with a weak area of low pressure. Development of this system is not expected due to strong upper-level winds while it moves slowly southwestward and then southward over the western Gulf of Mexico during the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours low near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days low 10 percent. A tropical wave near the west coast of Africa is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for slow development of the system this week as the wave moves westward at about 10 mph over the far eastern tropical Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours low 10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days medium 40 percent. Public Advisories on Tropical Depression Twenty-One are issued under WMO header WTNT31 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT1. Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Depression Twenty-One are issued under WMO header WTNT21 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCMAT1. Forecaster Brown
