TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 AM EDT FRI OCT 14 2011
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
1. A WEAK SURFACE LOW LOCATED ABOUT 450 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF BERMUDA IS
PRODUCING A LIMITED AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. UPPER- LEVEL WINDS
ARE BECOMING LESS CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE LOW MERGES WITH A
FRONTAL SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW
CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.
2. DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN
SEA ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD LOW PRESSURE AREA. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT
OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE AS IT DRIFTS TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM HAS
A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT
48 HOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE OVER A LARGE PORTION OF
CENTRAL AMERICA...CUBA AND ADJACENT ISLANDS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...RESULTING IN LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS.
