Tropical Weather Outlook


Statement as of 5:30 PM EDT on September 11, 2002


For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Gustav...located about 275 miles south-southwest of Halifax Nova
Scotia.
Surface observations indicate that the broad low pressure area over
the east-central Gulf of Mexico continues to become better
organized. Upper-level winds are only marginally favorable for
development...however there is the potential for tropical or
subtropical cyclone formation in this area. An Air Force hurricane
hunter plane is scheduled to investigate the system this evening.
A westward-moving tropical wave is located in the far eastern
Atlantic about 700 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.
Although the associated shower activity is minimal at this
time...this system has the potential for slow development over the
next couple of days.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through
Thursday.
