Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Sun Aug 30 2026
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
East of the Leeward Islands (Remnants of Dolly):
A strong tropical wave, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, is 
producing an area of showers and thunderstorms from Puerto Rico 
eastward across the Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands. 
Satellite data and surface observations indicate that there are no 
signs of a closed surface circulation, and redevelopment is unlikely 
during the next day or two while the wave moves westward to 
west-northwestward at about 25 mph. The system should bring locally 
heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the 
Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the next couple of days. 
Conditions may become more conducive for redevelopment by the middle 
of the week as the system reaches the southeastern Gulf of America.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Northern Gulf of America (AL97):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure 
located about 125 miles south of the coast of southeastern Louisiana 
have become more concentrated. However, current surface observations 
indicate that the system has not yet strengthened. Slow development 
of this system is possible during the next couple of days as it 
drifts westward to west-northwestward across the northern Gulf. 
Interests along the Louisiana and Upper Texas coasts should monitor 
the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
