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.

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.

Weather / Marine Zone Forecast
MARINE WEATHER : 1102 AM EDT Thu Oct 17 2024
.SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...Low pressure over the outer
central waters will continue moving slowly NE while intensifying
today and tonight, and then will linger near the northern outer
waters into Fri. Vessels planning to be in the area should
execute avoidance plans. As high pressure gradually builds E off
of the coast Fri, the low will slowly weaken and shift SE. High
pressure will persist over the waters Fri night through Mon
night, except for a surface trough located along or near the New
England coast Fri night into Sun night. A weak cold front will
move across the far northern waters Mon night.
