Hurricane Alert:   4/SEASONAL –  NO STORMS EXPECTED WITHIN 48 HOURS  
200 PM EDT Thu Sep 12 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Seven, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.  The
National Hurricane Center has issued its final advisory on Tropical
Depression Francine, located inland over Mississippi. The next
advisory will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 2100
UTC.

1. East of the Leeward Islands (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization in
association with a small area of low pressure located a few hundred
miles east of the Leeward Islands. However, the proximity of dry
air near the system could limit additional development over the next
couple of days. Environmental conditions are expected to become even
less conducive over the weekend while the system moves slowly
west-northwestward.  Regardless of development, this system could
produce locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds across the northern
Leeward Islands on Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

2. Offshore the Southeastern U.S.:
A non-tropical area of low pressure could form along a residual
frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S.
coastline this weekend.  Thereafter, some subtropical or tropical
development is possible during the early part of next week while the
system drifts to the north or northwest.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
