Tropical Weather Outlook

National Hurricane Center Miami Fl

530 Am edt Thu Jul 29 2004

 

For The North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf Of Mexico...

 

Showers and thunderstorms over the Florida Peninsula and adjacent

waters are associated with a broad area of low pressure located off

the Southwestern Florida Coast. Upper-level winds are currently

only marginally favorable...but some slow development of this

system is possible over the next couple of days as it drifts

westward into the Eastern Gulf Of Mexico.

 

Widespread showers and thunderstorms have become a little more

concentrated this morning about 500 miles east of the Central

Bahamas. This activity is associated with an upper-level low

interacting with a surface low pressure trough. Upper-level winds

are gradually becoming a little more favorable over the area...and

some additional organization is possible during the next couple of

days as the system moves west-northwestward at 5 To 10 mph.

 

Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through Friday.
