<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Storm Gaston, located about 800 miles east-southeast of Bermuda.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">1. A weak area of low pressure located south of Andros Island in the
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bahamas continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">mainly to the south and east of its center. Upper-level winds are
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">not conducive for significant development during the next day or so
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">while the low moves west-northwestward through the Straits of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Florida at about 10 mph. Environmental conditions could become a
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">little more conducive for some development when the system moves
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">across the eastern Gulf of Mexico next week. Heavy rains are likely
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">to continue over portions of eastern and central Cuba today. Gusty
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">winds and locally heavy rainfall are likely over portions of the
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bahamas, and will spread into parts of southern Florida and the
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Florida Keys later this weekend. Interests elsewhere in Florida and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the eastern Gulf of Mexico should continue to monitor the progress
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">of this disturbance.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">2. A weak trough of low pressure located about a hundred miles south of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the coast of southwestern Louisiana is producing disorganized shower
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">and thunderstorm activity over the north-central Gulf of Mexico.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Conditions are not expected to be conducive for development before
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">this system reaches the coast of Texas on Sunday. However, heavy
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">rainfall is possible along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">southeastern Texas during the next few days. For additional
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">information, please see products from your local National Weather

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">3. An area of low pressure centered about 130 miles southwest of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bermuda is producing winds of around 35 mph. While shower and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">thunderstorm activity has increased a little near the center during
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the past few hours, any significant development of this system is
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">likely to be slow to occur due the proximity of dry air. This low
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">is expected to move westward and then west-northwestward at about 10
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">mph toward the coast of the Carolinas during the next few days. For
