For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Northeastern Atlantic:
A non-tropical area of low pressure is developing along a front over 
the northeastern Atlantic a few hundred miles north-northeast of 
the Azores. This system could separate from its front and acquire 
some subtropical or tropical characteristics on Saturday or early 
Sunday while it moves east-southeastward at 10 to 15 mph toward 
Portugal and northwestern Spain. For more information, see High Seas 
Forecasts issued by Meteo France.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Central Subtropical Atlantic:
A weak area of low pressure located over the central subtropical 
Atlantic a few hundred miles east-southeast of Bermuda is producing 
a concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms southeast of its 
center. Surface pressures in the area are relatively high, therefore 
development of this system, if any, is expected to be slow to occur 
while it drifts west-southwestward through Sunday and then turns 
northward early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
