ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY UNFAVORABLE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR, BUT THEY COULD BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE CONDUCIVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE BAHAMAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A 20% CHANCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION THROUGH THE NEXT 5 DAYS.
