<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<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 several hundred miles east-southeast of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bermuda.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">1. An area of low pressure centered near the north coast of Central
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Cuba is a little better defined this afternoon, and is producing a
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. Any
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">development of this system is expected to be slow to occur while it
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">interacts with the terrain of Cuba through Sunday. Environmental
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">conditions are forecast to become a little more conducive when the
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">low moves into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Monday. Reports
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">from the Cuban Meteorological Service indicate that 3 to 5 inches of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">rain have fallen in portions of the island this afternoon.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">These rains are likely to continue primarily over portions of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">eastern and central Cuba tonight and Sunday. Gusty winds and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">locally heavy rainfall are probably occurring over portions of the
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bahamas, and this activity will spread into parts of southern
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Florida and the Florida Keys by Sunday. Interests elsewhere in
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico should continue to monitor
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the progress of this disturbance. A NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">is scheduled to investigate this system on Sunday.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">2. The broad area of low pressure located about 150 miles southwest of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Bermuda has become elongated and the associated shower activity
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">remains poorly organized. Development of this system, if any, is
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">likely to be slow to occur due to the proximity of dry air during
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the next couple of days. This low is forecast to move westward and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">then west-northwestward at about 10 mph toward the coast of North
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Carolina where conditions are not favorable for development. For
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">additional information on this system, see High Seas Forecasts
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">issued by the National Weather Service.

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">3. A tropical wave is expected to move offshore of the west coast of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Africa on Tuesday. Conditions appear favorable for development of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">this system later next week while it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">over the tropical eastern Atlantic.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
