Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
100 PM EST Wed Nov 15 2023
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Southwestern Caribbean Sea:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms persist in association with a
trough of low pressure located in the southwestern Caribbean Sea.
Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for development
of this system over the next couple of days, and a tropical
depression could form by this weekend as the system starts moving
northeastward across the western and central part of the Caribbean
Sea. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance mission is scheduled to
investigate the system tomorrow.
Regardless of development, this system is expected to produce heavy
rains that could result in flash flooding and mudslides over
portions of the Caribbean coast of Central America and the Greater
Antilles through this weekend. Interests in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti,
the Dominican Republic, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and
Caicos Islands should continue to monitor the progress of this
system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…medium…50 percent.
Offshore Southeast Coast of United States:
A non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form near
southern Florida along a frontal boundary by tomorrow. This system
is then forecast to move quickly northeastward across the Bahamas
and offshore of the east coast of the U.S. through the weekend.
Although development into a tropical cyclone appears unlikely, this
system is expected to produce gusty winds and heavy rains across
portions of southern Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas
during the next couple of days. For more information on this
system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by
the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…10 percent.
