Atlantic Tropical Weather Overview

A cold front stretching from the northwest coast of Cuba across the Gulf of Mexico is causing strong winds and very rough seas, especially in the western part of the Gulf near the Bay of Campeche. Boaters and fishers in this area should expect challenging conditions through tonight and into Tuesday. The front is also bringing gusty winds and rough seas near the northern Bahamas and the northern coast of Cuba, affecting marine activities there as well. Elsewhere in the central and eastern Caribbean, the weather is mostly calm with moderate winds and seas, making it generally safe for travelers and beachgoers.

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

Off the East Coast of the United States:
A storm-force non-tropical low pressure area is developing along a
frontal boundary tonight off the southeast coast of the United
States. This low is likely to move slowly and erratically over the
next couple of days while it initially remains non-tropical. Later
this week, if the system stays over the Gulf Stream, environmental
conditions could become more conducive for the low to develop some
subtropical characteristics. A subtropical cyclone could form over
the second half of this week as the system begins moving generally
northeastward, offshore of the eastern United States. Regardless of
development, this system will cause high winds, coastal flooding,
and dangerous surf along portions of the U.S. East Coast. Please
consult statements and warnings from local National Weather Service
offices and the Weather Prediction Center for more information,
along with High Seas Forecasts and Storm Warnings issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
