000 ABNT20 KNHC 200500 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT THU OCT 20 2016 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: An elongated area of low pressure located about 300 miles east-northeast of the Central Bahamas is moving northwestward at about 10 mph. Although the associated shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized, environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for the low to acquire some tropical characteristics during the next day or so, and this system could still become a subtropical or tropical cyclone before it merges with a cold front over the western Atlantic late Friday. A NOAA reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system this afternoon, if necessary. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over Hispaniola and Puerto Rico today. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent $$ Forecaster Brown
