Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Atlantic Ocean / Caribbean Sea / Gulf of Mexico

CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES: 

There are no active tropical cyclones at this time

  Atlantic Ocean:  A non-tropical area of low pressure has formed a couple of hundred miles east of the southeastern Bahamas. The associated shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized and extends over a broad area mainly to the east of the low. There is a slight chance that the system could acquire some subtropical characteristics as it moves northeastward over the next day or so. However, on Tuesday the disturbance is expected to merge with a cold front. Later in the week, this system may have a second opportunity to develop subtropical characteristics if it becomes separated from the front and meanders over the central Atlantic. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent * Formation chance through 5 days…low…20 percent Caribbean: WSI satellite image of the Caribbean Sea Gulf of Mexico:  Latest satellite image of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico
