Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook
000ABNT20 KNHC 301828 CCATWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook...CorrtecedNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL200 PM EDT Sun Aug 30 2026Correct low chance to medium chance for the Gulf systemFor the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:Northern Gulf of America (AL97):A low pressure area is located over the northern Gulf of America about 125 mils south of the coast of southeastern Louisiana.  Satellite imagery and recent satellite wind data indicate that this system has become better organized since yesterday.  Additional development is possible as the low moves slowly west-northwestward, and a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm could form before the system reaches the Upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coasts Tuesday or Tuesday night. Interests along the Louisiana and Upper Texas coasts should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over portions of the Upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coasts during the next couple of days.* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.Near Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (Remnants of Dolly):A strong tropical wave, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, is producing an area of showers and thunderstorms from Puerto Rico eastward across the Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands. Satellite data and surface observations indicate that there are no signs of a closed surface circulation, and redevelopment is unlikely during the next day or two while the wave moves westward to west-northwestward at about 25 mph. The system should bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola over the next couple of days. Conditions may become more conducive for redevelopment by the middle of the week as the system reaches the southeastern Gulf of America.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.$$Forecaster Beven
