The National Hurricane Center has re-initiated advisories on

of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, is producing disorganized shower
activity, well to the east of the center. Strong upper-level
winds are expected to inhibit development of this system. The low

scattered showers and dangerous surf and rip currents across eastern
North Carolina as it passes by. The low is expected to continue
moving northeastward and merge with a frontal system or dissipate
offshore of the New England coast on Thursday. For more
information, please see products from your local National Weather

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
2. Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie located several hundred miles
west-southwest of the Azores is producing disorganized shower
activity and gale-force winds. Leslie is expected to reacquire
subtropical or tropical characteristics on Thursday or Friday while
the cyclone meanders over the north-central Atlantic. For more
