Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized in association with a gale-force low pressure area located about 700 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.

Shower and thunderstorm activity continues in association with a gale-force non-tropical low pressure system located over the western Atlantic several hundred miles south of Nova Scotia.

The low is forecast to move quickly toward the east-northeast at 30 to 35 mph, reaching colder waters overnight. As a result, this system is unlikely to become a tropical storm.
