Development areas (3)
Atlantic
1. Western Atlantic 48h 10% 7-day 30%
1. Western Atlantic: An area of low pressure is expected to form along a weakening frontal boundary a few hundred miles south of Bermuda over the next day or so. This system could acquire some subtropical characteristics late this week while it drifts slowly over the western Atlantic. The chances of subtropical development decrease by this weekend when the system is expected to move generally eastward into unfavorable environmental conditions. Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
Eastern Pacific
1. Well Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (EP95) 48h 40% 7-day 70%
1. Well Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (EP95): An area of low pressure located well east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next few days as it moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph moving into the Central Pacific basin. Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent. Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
Eastern Pacific
2. Eastern East Pacific 48h 10% 7-day 20%
2. Eastern East Pacific: An elongated trough of low pressure is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms offshore of the coast of Central America. Some slow development of this system is possible over the next few days while it drifts northward. Regardless of development, this system could bring areas of heavy rain to portions of Central America later this week and over the weekend. Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
