For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Northeastern Atlantic:
A non-tropical area of low pressure located a couple of hundred 
miles west of the coast of Portugal is producing limited shower 
activity. This low is no longer anticipated to acquire any 
subtropical characteristics before moving over Portugal and Spain 
early tomorrow.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.
Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL95):
Satellite images indicate that showers and thunderstorms are showing 
some signs of organization associated with an area of low pressure 
located about 400 miles southeast of Bermuda. Further development of 
the low is possible, and this system could become a short-lived 
tropical depression or storm during the next couple of days while it 
moves northward and north-northeastward, well northeast of Bermuda.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of Africa on 
Monday, and an area of low pressure could form in association with 
the wave early this week. Environmental conditions are forecast to 
be marginally conducive for development, and a tropical depression 
could form by the middle to latter portions of the week while the 
system moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern 
and central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
