1. A tropical wave located over the north-central Caribbean Sea is
producing a large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms extending
from Hispaniola northeastward across the northeastern Caribbean Sea
and adjacent Atlantic waters. This activity is forecast to spread
westward to west-northwestward, but strong upper-level winds are
expected to prevent any significant development of this system
during the next several days. Environmental conditions could become
more conducive when the system reaches the eastern Gulf of Mexico
early next week. Regardless of development, this system could
produce enhanced rainfall across portions of Hispaniola, the
Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos, and Florida into early next week.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sat Sep 1 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Florence, located about a couple of hundred miles west of the
Cabo Verde Islands.
1. Cloudiness and showers over the Turks and Caicos Islands and the
southeastern Bahamas have increased a little bit today. This
activity is associated with a tropical wave interacting with an
upper-level trough. This weather system is expected to spread
westward across the remainder of the Bahamas this weekend, and move
across southern Florida and into the eastern Gulf of Mexico by early
next week. Surface pressures are not falling at this time, and
development is not anticipated during the next day or two.
Environmental conditions, however, are forecast to become a little
more favorable for a surface low pressure area to form when the
disturbance moves across the Gulf of Mexico during the early to
middle part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
