TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK:
1. Western and Central Atlantic: A broad area of low pressure is forming along a remnant frontal boundary a few hundred miles south of Bermuda. Environmental conditions could support this system gradually acquiring subtropical characteristics through this weekend while it moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By early next week, environmental conditions are forecast to become unfavorable for further development. This system has a medium chance of formation over the next seven (7) days.
