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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on newly formed 
Tropical Storm Epsilon located over the central Atlantic several 
hundred miles southeast of Bermuda. 

A trough of low pressure has formed over the western Caribbean 
Sea, which extends northward across western Cuba.  The associated 
shower and thunderstorm activity is located along the northern 
portion of the trough axis where upper-level winds are not 
conducive for significant development.  This system is forecast to 
move slowly westward toward the Yucatan peninsula over the next day 
or two.  Regardless of development, the system could bring locally 
heavy rainfall to portions of Cuba through midweek.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
