ATLANTIC BASIN
Broad non-tropical low southwest of Bermuda
- Centered several hundred miles southwest of Bermuda
- Currently still a non-tropical frontal low, but will probably shed its fronts during the next few days, which is just one requirement for possibly becoming a subtropical storm this week
- Will remain nearly stationary or perhaps drift westward the next few days over waters near 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so the currently limited thunderstorm activity could increase, primarily north and east of the circulation center
- Winds of gale force already occurring north and west of the center of the low, due to the strong pressure gradient between the low and high pressure over the eastern U.S., including offshore waters from northern Florida to the Carolinas
- Strong north to northeasterly winds, rough surf and boating conditions, and a high risk of rip currents expected to continue this week along the coast from northern Florida to the Carolinas
- The center of the low is very unlikely to come ashore in the U.S. before being pushed out to sea later this week by the next frontal system
EASTERN PACIFIC
No significant systems and no new tropical cyclones expected to form for at least the next couple of days
WESTERN PACIFIC
A surface low west of the Philippines and east of Vietnam has some chance for tropical cyclone formation during the next couple of days as it moves very slowly, and it poses some risk for locally heavy rains in portions of those countries
INDIAN OCEAN
A surface low over the Arabian Sea (northwestern Indian Ocean) could become a tropical cyclone at any time as it moves generally west-northwestward
It could directly affect Oman within the next few days
