Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Tuesday October 8 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Leslie, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on Hurricane Milton, located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.
Southwestern Atlantic: A broad area of low pressure has formed near the northern Bahamas and is expected to move northeastward into the southwestern Atlantic later today. Some additional development of this system is possible during the next day or so while the low moves northeastward to east-northeastward around 15 mph. Upper-level winds are likely to increase later in the week, which should limit further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Eastern Tropical Atlantic: A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa in a couple of days. Afterward, environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable for some limited development of this system while it moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic, moving near the Cabo Verde Islands on Thursday or early Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Forecaster: Dave Roberts, National Hurricane Center
