Atlantic Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook
The NHC is now watching two areas for potential tropical activity. The one closer to the islands well definitely bring wind and rain with it, even if it doesn't develop into a named storm:
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL STORM FAY...LOCATED INLAND ABOUT 40 MILES NORTH-NORTHEAST OF CEDAR KEY FLORIDA.
1. A LARGE BUT DISORGANIZED AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER CENTERED ABOUT 350 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS IS MOVING TO THE WEST- NORTHWEST AT 15 MPH. ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD PORTIONS OF THE LEEWARD AND WINDWARD TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW.
2. A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 1300 MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS IS PRODUCING SOME DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE WAVE MOVES TOWARD THE WEST OR WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
