Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Oct 3 2022
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Showers and thunderstorms have increased today in association with
an area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south-southwest
of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions are conducive
for gradual development, and a tropical depression is likely to form
in a day or two. Further development will become less likely late
this week due to increasing upper-level winds. The system is
forecast to move west-northwestward and then turn northwestward by
mid-week over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
East of the Windward Islands:
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located
several hundred miles east of the southern Windward Islands have
changed little in organization during the last several hours. Slow
development is possible during the next several days while the wave
moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph, reaching the Windward
Islands and the eastern Caribbean Sea by midweek. Interests in the
Windward Islands should monitor the progress of the system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…30 percent.
