1. Western and Central Atlantic: A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure area located a few hundred miles south of Bermuda is producing disorganized convection. Environmental conditions could allow this system to acquire some subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days while it moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By late this weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable for further development.

1. Eastern Central Pacific (CP95): Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located several hundred miles to the southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii continue to show signs of organization, though recent satellite wind data indicate the system lacks a well-defined center. Environmental conditions are conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is expected to develop by early Friday. The system is forecast to move west-northwestward to westward at 10 to 15 mph, passing well south of the Hawaiian Islands. Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90

2. Eastern East Pacific 48h 40% 7-day 40%
2. Eastern East Pacific: A broad area of low pressure offshore of Central America is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms that remain disorganized. Gradual development of this system is still possible during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form by this weekend while the low drifts slowly offshore of the Central America coast. Regardless of development, this system could bring areas of heavy rain to portions of Central America through this weekend. Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Western and Central Atlantic:
A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure area located a few hundred
miles south of Bermuda is producing disorganized convection.
Environmental conditions could allow this system to acquire some
subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days while it
moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical
Atlantic. By late this weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to
become unfavorable for further development. While a new non-
tropical low could form from the remnants of the current low or to
its east early next week, environmental conditions are unlikely to
support significant development of that system. Regardless,
gale-force winds are likely over parts of the central subtropical
Atlantic through the weekend. For more information, including Gale
Warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Eastern Central Pacific (CP95):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located several hundred miles to the southeast of the Big Island of
Hawaii continue to show signs of organization, though recent
satellite wind data indicate the system lacks a well-defined center.
Environmental conditions are conducive for additional development,
and a tropical depression is expected to develop by early Friday.
The system is forecast to move west-northwestward to westward at 10
to 15 mph, passing well south of the Hawaiian Islands.

Eastern East Pacific:
A broad area of low pressure offshore of Central America is
producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms that remain
disorganized. Gradual development of this system is still possible
during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could
form by this weekend while the low drifts slowly offshore of the
Central America coast. Regardless of development, this system could
bring areas of heavy rain to portions of Central America through
this weekend.
