Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Fri Sep 17 2021

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

The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on
Post-Tropical Cyclone Nicholas, located over Louisiana.

Recent satellite images indicate that a new and better-defined
center of circulation has developed in association with a low
pressure area located about 250 miles east of Norfolk, Virginia.
In addition, shower and thunderstorm activity is becoming more
organized near this new center.  If these development trends
continue, then a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to
form later today or tonight while the low moves toward the
northeast or east-northeast at 10 to 15 mph, away from the United
States Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coasts.  The low is expected to
transform into a non-tropical gale-force low Saturday or Saturday
night while it is located south of Atlantic Canada, and it is
likely to bring strong winds and heavy rains to portions of
Newfoundland by Sunday and Sunday night.  This system is also
expected to bring high surf to portions of the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast U.S. coasts and Atlantic Canada through this weekend.
Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can
be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the NOAA Ocean Prediction
Center.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave and broad
area of low pressure located about midway between the Lesser
Antilles and the Cabo Verde Islands have become a little better
organized since yesterday.  Environmental conditions are expected
to be conducive for further development during the next couple of
days, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the weekend
or early next week while moving toward the west-northwest at about
15 mph across the central tropical Atlantic and then near the
northern Leeward Islands by Monday and Tuesday.  Upper-level winds
could become less conducive for development over the southwestern
Atlantic by the early to middle part of next week.  Interests in
the Leeward Islands should monitor the progress of this system
during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

A broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles
south-southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce
disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  This system is expected to
move toward the west and then northwest at 5 to 10 mph over the far
eastern Atlantic, and some gradual development is possible over the
weekend before upper-level winds increase and the low moves over
cooler waters.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
