For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Florence, located over the central subtropical Atlantic Ocean.
The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Gordon, located over Arkansas.
1. The circulation associated with an area of low pressure centered
several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands
remains broad and elongated, and the associated shower and
thunderstorm activity has not yet increased in organization.
However, environmental conditions are conducive for development, and
a tropical depression is expected to form within the next day or two
while the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward across
the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
2. A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa
on Friday. Development of this system is anticipated after that
time, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early
next week while the wave moves westward or west-northwestward over
the far eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. Interests in the Cabo
Verde Islands should monitor the progress of this system during the
next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
