CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:

There are no active tropical cyclones at this time

Offshore of the Southeast U.S

>>> Satellite data indicate an elongated area of low pressure offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast is producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Despite strong upper-level winds, some gradual development is possible while the system moves northeastward offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast during the next day or so. By this weekend, the system is forecast to merge with a front over the western Atlantic. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is forecast to continue across portions of the Florida peninsula through late this week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent

Southwestern Gulf of Mexico

>>> A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form during the early or middle part of next week while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…40 percent
