TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1130 AM EDT SAT JUN 24 2006FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC…CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO…
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED JUST NORTHEAST OF GREAT ABACO ISLAND IN THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED SHOWER ACTIVITY ARE POORLY ORGANIZED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER…THIS SYSTEM STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THE AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT SCHEDULED FOR TODAY HAS BEEN CANCELED. ANOTHER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM ON SUNDAY…IF NECESSARY.
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A NON-TROPICAL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 900 MILES EAST OF BERMUDA. SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ABOUT 10 MPH.
ELSEWHERE…TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY.
