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

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Ophelia, located over the eastern Atlantic Ocean several hundred
miles southwest of the Azores.

A broad area of low pressure located about 250 miles east of the
northern Leeward Islands is producing disorganized showers and
thunderstorms, mainly to the east of the surface low.  Upper-level
winds are not expected to be conducive for significant development
during the next couple of days while the system moves west-
northwestward at 15 to 20 mph and passes near or north of the
Leeward Islands and the Virgin Islands.  However, environmental
conditions could become a little more conducive for some development
early next week while the system begins to move northward over the
west-central Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
