The Tropical Weather Outlook

Phillipe is now a post-tropical system. No further advisories will be issued on this storm.

Fig 3 - Phillipe's Track History

A trough of low pressure extending from the NW Caribbean Sea across central Cuba into the central Bahamas is producing

gale-force winds over the western Atlantic...and widespread cloudiness and thunderstorms over eastern Cuba...Hispaniola...the Bahamas...the Florida peninsula...and the adjacent Atlantic waters.

Surface pressures are slowly falling...and some development of this system is possible over the next couple of days as it moves northwestward at 5 to 10 mph. this system has a medium chance...30 percent...of becoming a subtropical or tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

This system, currently does not pose a threat to us.

Else where, tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 24 hours.
