Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Mon Oct 9 2023

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

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles 
south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a 
large area of showers and thunderstorms.  This activity has changed 
little in organization since earlier today.  However, environmental 
conditions appear conducive for gradual development, and a tropical 
depression is likely to form in the next couple of days while the 
system moves west-northwestward or northwestward across the eastern 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

2. Southwestern Gulf of Mexico (AL93):
A broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico 
continues to produce an area of disorganized cloudiness and 
thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions appear only marginally 
favorable for some additional development while the system moves 
slowly northward during the next day or so.  The low is forecast to 
merge with a frontal system over the western Gulf of Mexico by 
Wednesday morning.  Regardless of tropical cyclone development, the 
system is forecast to produce winds to gale force over portions of 
the northern Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday.  Additional information 
on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas 
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.   
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
