Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Wed Sep 27 2023

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Philippe, located about 600 miles east of the northern 
Leeward Islands.

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL91):
Showers and thunderstorms have become a little more concentrated  
with an area of low pressure located roughly halfway between the 
Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions 
are forecast to be conducive for development, as long as this system 
remains far enough removed from Tropical Storm Philippe to its west. 
A tropical depression or storm is expected to form in the next day 
or so while the system moves northwestward across the central 
tropical Atlantic. Additional information on this system, including 
gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
