200 PM EDT Thu Oct 17 2024 - For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. East of the Leeward Islands (AL94): Showers and thunderstorms associated with a trough of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands remain disorganized. Some slow development is possible during the next couple of days as the disturbance moves quickly westward to west-northwestward around 20 mph, passing near the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Friday, then near Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas on Saturday. Strong upper-level winds should end the chances of development by late in the weekend. The Air Force Hurricane Hunters are currently investigating the system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
