For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Western Gulf of Mexico (AL91):
Recent satellite wind data indicate a broad area of low pressure is
located over the Bay of Campeche. The low is producing disorganized
showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico while
interacting with a frontal boundary. This system is forecast to
drift slowly northwestward during the next couple of days, and
environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for
development. A tropical depression is likely to form while the
system moves generally northward near or along the Gulf coast of
Mexico and Texas through the middle of the week. Interests along
the western Gulf Coast should closely monitor the progress of this
system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

2. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an elongated area of low
pressure over the central tropical Atlantic are showing gradual
signs of organization. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
additional development of this system, and a tropical depression
could form while the system meanders over the central tropical
Atlantic through Monday and then moves generally westward at about
10 mph through the rest of the week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

3. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of
the Cabo Verde Islands is producing some disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. The disturbance is expected to move very little
during the next couple of days until it potentially interacts with
a tropical wave that is forecast to move off the west coast of
Africa by early Monday. Environmental conditions are expected to be
favorable for gradual development of this system, and a tropical
depression could form by the middle or latter part of the week while
the system moves slowly westward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
