PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
3. SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ABOUT 250 MILES
WEST-NORTHWEST OF BERMUDA HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE
PAST SEVERAL HOURS. ADDITIONAL SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR SO BEFORE THIS DISTURBANCE MERGES WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.
