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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Ida, located over the northwestern Caribbean Sea near the
Cayman Islands.

An elongated area of low pressure located over the central Atlantic
about 600 miles east of Bermuda is producing showers and
thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions are expected to be
marginally conducive for development, however, a tropical
depression could still form over the weekend.  The system is
expected to drift eastward today and Saturday, then accelerate
northeastward on Sunday toward the central-north Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

A tropical wave located about midway between the Cabo Verde Islands
and the Lesser Antilles is producing limited showers and
thunderstorms.  Gradual development of this system is expected,
however, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the
next couple of days before it moves into an environment of stronger
upper-level winds and slightly cooler waters.  The disturbance is
forecast to move west-northwestward today, then turn northward
Saturday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
