NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Thu Oct 22 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Epsilon, located over the west-central Atlantic a few hundred miles
southeast of Bermuda.
1. A trough of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea
is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms
which primarily extend near Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba.
Development of this system is unlikely to occur during the next few
days as it passes near western Cuba and moves over the Straits of
Florida. By late this weekend or early next week, however, some
slow development is possible while the system moves generally
northeastward from near the northwestern Bahamas toward the western
Atlantic. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is
possible over portions of Cuba, South Florida, and the Bahamas
through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
