EXTENDED FORECAST: HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER THE BAHAMAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS A TROPICAL WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: A TROPICAL WAVE ACCOMPANIED BY A BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND DISORGANIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS.
SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHILE IT MOVES WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH.
HOWEVER, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME LESS CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT EARLY NEXT WEEK WHEN THE SYSTEM IS OVER THE CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN.
TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION CHANCE THROUGH 48 HOURS IS LOW AND MEDIUM THROUGH 5 DAYS.
