GENERAL SITUATION: MID TO LOW LEVEL TROUGHING ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NORTH OF THE BAHAMAS, ALONG WITH STREAMING TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE SHOWER ACTIVITY, AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD.
MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT.
SPECIAL WARNINGS: THERE REMAINS A RISK OF WATERSPOUT ACTIVITY. BEACHGOERS IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION ALONG EASTERN SHORELINES DUE TO THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. THE PUBLIC IS ADVISED TO REMAIN HYDRATED AS HEAT INDICES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS.
AREA: ALL AREAS

EXTENDED FORECAST (FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS): STREAMING TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES ELEVATED ACROSS THE BAHAMAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO AREAS OF INTEREST BEING MONITORED: (1) A SMALL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. THE ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY REMAINS DISORGANIZED, WITH MOST OF IT DISPLACED TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SURFACE CENTER DUE TO STRONG UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. THE LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE QUICKLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH, CROSSING OVER THE WARMER WATERS OF THE GULF STREAM LATER THIS MORNING, AND IT HAS SOME POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM BEFORE REACHING THE COAST OF GEORGIA OR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA BY THIS EVENING. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM OR 60 PERCENT CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. (2) A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS PRODUCING A SMALL CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW OR 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.CURRENTLY, NONE OF THESE SYSTEMS POSE A THREAT TO THE BAHAMAS OR THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS.
