000 ABNT20 KNHC 200255 TWOAT Special Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1055 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Updated for the remnants of Lee For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Jose, located a couple of hundred miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, and on extremely dangerous Hurricane Maria, located over the northeastern Caribbean Sea approaching the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Showers and thunderstorms have increased near a low pressure area, the remnants of Lee, located about 1000 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Satellite wind data show that the low is already producing gale-force winds, and only a small increase in the organization of the deep convection would result in the regeneration of Lee. However, the environmental conditions are only marginal favorable for tropical cyclone formation. This low is expected to move northward over the central Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent. && Additional information on the remnants of Lee can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml. $$ Forecaster Blake
