Special Tropical Weather Outlook (Atlantic)

Issued by the NWS National Hurricane Center in Miami, FL

2:35 PM UTC, Fri Jun 21 2024

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

Special outlook issued to update discussion of the low pressure

system over the southwestern Atlantic (AL92).

Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (AL92):

Updated:  Recent data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance

aircraft and visible satellite imagery indicate that the area of

low pressure located about 120 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida,

has developed a well-defined center of circulation and is

producing winds to near 35 mph, but the associated showers and

thunderstorms are not quite organized enough for this system to be

considered a tropical cyclone.  However, only a small increase in

the organization of the showers and thunderstorms could result in

the formation of a short-lived tropical depression before it

reaches the coast of northeastern Florida or Georgia tonight, and

interests there should monitor its progress.  For more information,

refer to High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service,

as well as local forecasts issued by your local National Weather

Service Forecast Office.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

****

Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:

A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over southeastern

Mexico later today.  Environmental conditions appear conducive for

gradual development after this system moves over the Bay of Campeche

tonight, and a tropical depression could form over the southwestern

Gulf of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly west-northwestward

or northwestward. Interests along the Gulf coast of Mexico should

monitor the progress of this system.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
