Minimal Concern In Atlantic, Gulf Of Mexico. CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- National Hurricane Center forecasters are watching one system for potential development, but do not expect significant activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico over the next 48 hours.
The NHC assessment from Sunday follows:
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
A TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA AND HISPANIOLA IS PRODUCING A FEW DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED AS IT MOVES GENERALLY WESTWARD NEAR 20 MPH AND INTERACTS WITH THE LAND MASSES OF HISPANIOLA AND CUBA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER HISPANIOLA...JAMAICA...AND EASTERN CUBA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
