TROPICAL OUTLOOK OCT 25, 2017 0403 PM EDT

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low
pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea and Central America
have become a little better organized over the past few hours. Close
proximity to land is likely to limit development of this system for
the next day or so.  However, environmental conditions are expected
to be conducive for the system to become more organized later this
week as it moves slowly northward over the northwestern Caribbean
Sea. Strong upper-level winds associated with an approaching cold
front will likely prevent further development by Sunday.  Regardless
of development, locally heavy rains are likely over portions of
Central America and Cuba during the next several days. 

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK OCT 24, 2017 1024 PM EDT

A broad area of low pressure over Nicaragua, Honduras, and the
adjacent Caribbean waters is producing widespread, but disorganized,
showers and thunderstorms.  Close proximity to land is likely to
limit development of this system for the next day or two. However,
environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for some
development to occur later this week while the system moves slowly
northward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.  Regardless of
development, locally heavy rains are likely over portions of
Central America during the next several days. 

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK OCT 24, 2017 0107 AM EDT

The Caribbean system is now an elongated low pressure area.  Forecast guidance models suggest that this system will track north and east as it gets scooped up by a cold front that will track east across Florida.  As the front approaches models suggest that this low will merge with the front and will be dragged across Cuba and the South Florida.  So far non of the models suggest a strong system but I will continue to monitor it.

Please note that I took Tuesday off from work and will not be doing regular updates.  This is why i am doing a late update at this time.  I will try to post from my phone on blog and Facebook.
