Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Tue Oct 8 2024

For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Leslie, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and
on Hurricane Milton, located over the southern Gulf of Mexico.

Southwestern Atlantic:
A non-tropical area of low pressure located just northeast of the
northwestern Bahamas is producing gale-force winds. This system
could acquire some tropical or subtropical characteristics over the
next day or so while the low moves northeastward to east-
northeastward around 15 mph. Upper-level winds are likely to
increase by Wednesday night, which should end any chances for
further development. Additional information on this system,
including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued
by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa in
a day or two. Afterward, environmental conditions appear only
marginally favorable for some limited development of this system
while it moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern
tropical Atlantic, moving near the Cabo Verde Islands late Thursday
through Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days…low…20 percent.
