Tropical Weather Outlook

Statement as of 8:00 PM EDT on October 11, 2008

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

A large area of disturbed weather centered about 1600 miles east of the Lesser Antilles is moving northward at 5 to 10 mph. This system continues to show signs of organization...and upper-level winds are marginally conducive for development. A tropical depression could form in this area during the next day or so.

Surface observations and satellite imagery indicate that a broad low pressure area has formed over the southeastern Caribbean seas in association with a tropical wave. While the associated shower activity is currently poorly organized...there is the potential for additional slow development during the next day or two as the system moves slowly northwestward.

Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.
