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

Special outlook issued to raise probabilities and update discussion 

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Nigel, located over the central subtropical Atlantic.

Off the Southeastern United States Coast (AL99):
Updated...A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles 
east of the Florida peninsula continues to produce a large area of 
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. A non-tropical low pressure 
system is expected to form within this area by early Friday, and 
there are increasing chances that this system could acquire some 
tropical or subtropical characteristics on Friday or early Saturday 
while it moves generally northward toward the coast of North 
Carolina. Regardless of tropical or subtropical development, this 
low is likely to bring tropical storm force winds, heavy rain, 
coastal flooding, and high surf to portions of the southeast and 
mid-Atlantic United States coastline on Friday and into the 
weekend. Tropical Storm watches or warnings could be required for 
this system as soon as later this morning. Additional information on 
this system, including storm and gale warnings, can be found in High 
Seas Forecasts and products from your local National Weather Service 
office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave located just west of the Cabo Verde Islands is 
producing some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. 
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual 
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to 
form this weekend or early next week while the system moves 
generally westward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern and central 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Nigel, located over the central subtropical Atlantic.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is currently located a couple of hundred miles 
southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands.  This system is expected 
to merge with another disturbance located a few hundred miles to its 
west in a few days.  Environmental conditions are forecast to 
be conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression is 
likely to form late this week or this weekend while the system moves 
generally westward at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern and central 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

Western Atlantic:
A non-tropical low pressure system is expected to form within a 
large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms to the east 
of the Florida peninsula within the next day or two.  This system 
could acquire some subtropical characteristics on Friday while it 
moves generally northward.  Regardless of development, this low is 
likely to bring gusty winds to gale force, heavy rain, and high surf 
to portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States late 
this week and into this weekend.  Additional information on this

..HURRICANE LEE UPDATE SEPT. 15, 2023..

...LEE REMAINS A LARGE HURRICANE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC... ...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ACROSS PARTS OF COASTAL NEW ENGLAND LATER THIS AFTERNOON...
11:00 AM AST Fri Sep 15
Location: 36.0°N 66.9°W
Moving: NNE at 18 mph
Min pressure: 962 mb
Max sustained: 80 mph




Lee is moving through an unfavorable wind shear environment. 
 

Dry air is also entering Lee's flow.







..TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK SEPT. 15, 2023..

 


Storm Investigation 97L has a 90–90% formation chance and will more than likely be the next hurricane in the Atlantic. As it is, this storm system is scheduled to recurve over the North Atlantic and is not a threat to the U.S. mainland. 

The other storm investigation behind 97L presently has a 0–20% chance of formation. I will monitor this system since it could track further west and maybe into the eastern Caribbean.

Refer to the National Hurricane Center for the latest updates.
