GENERAL SITUATION: Drier air is moving into the Turks and Caicos Islands today, bringing more stable conditions as a low-pressure system to the east draws moisture away from the region.

SPECIAL WARNINGS: None.

Rip Currents: There is a slight to moderate risk of rip currents along all Atlantic coastal waters of the island chain. Beachgoers are urged to exercise caution.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK:
Western and Central Atlantic (AL94): A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure area located several hundred miles south of Bermuda is producing an area of cloudiness and showers. This system could briefly acquire some subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days while it moves generally eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. This system has a low chance of formation over the next seven (7) days.
