ZCZC MIATWOAT ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM 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 far eastern Atlantic Ocean more than 600 miles east-northeast of the Azores. 1. A broad area of low pressure is moving toward the west-northwest and is now located about 150 miles north of Hispaniola. The low is producing numerous showers and a few squalls mainly to the east of the center. Since upper-level winds are not particularly favorable for tropical cyclone formation, further development of this system, if any, will be slow to occur. The low and its associated activity is forecast to move toward the northwest and north during the next two to three days. After that time, this system is expected to merge with a cold front. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent. Forecaster Avila
