000 ABNT20 KNHC 150541 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Sun Oct 15 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Ophelia, located over the eastern Atlantic Ocean more than 300 miles east of the easternmost Azores. A broad trough of low pressure centered over the Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands is producing disorganized showers and squalls over portions of the Leeward Islands and adjacent Atlantic waters. This activity is expected to spread across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico later this morning and continue into the afternoon. Upper-level winds are forecast to remain hostile for any significant development to occur during the next day or two. However, the environment could become somewhat more conducive for development by early next week when the system begins to move northward and then recurves over the west-central Atlantic Ocean. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent. $$ Forecaster Stewart
