<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">800 AM EDT SUN AUG 28 2016

<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 Hurricane

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Gaston, located about 600 miles east 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 near the north coast of central

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Cuba continues to produce a large area of disorganized cloudiness

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">and thunderstorms.  Upper-level winds are not conducive for

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">significant development today while this system moves westward

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">through the Straits of Florida.  The low is expected to move into

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Monday, where environmental

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">conditions could become somewhat more conducive for development.

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Regardless of development, heavy rainfall and gusty winds are likely

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">over portions of the central and northwestern Bahamas, and Cuba

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">through tonight.  Gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall will spread

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">into parts of southern Florida and the Florida Keys later today.

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Interests elsewhere in Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico should

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">continue to monitor the progress of this disturbance.  A NOAA

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">this afternoon, if necessary.

<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...60 percent

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> 

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">2. Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased during the past few

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">hours in association with an area of low pressure located about 250

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">miles west of Bermuda.  While environmental conditions are only

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">marginally conducive, some additional development of this system is

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">possible during the next day or so while it moves west-northwestward

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">at about 10 mph.  As the low approaches the coast of North Carolina

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">by mid-week, conditions are expected to become unfavorable for

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">further development.  For additional information on this system, see

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.   An Air

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">this system this afternoon, if necessary.

<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...40 percent

<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 are expected to be favorable for

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">development of this system later this week while it moves westward

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">at 15 to 20 mph over the tropical eastern Atlantic.

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
