TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: A WELL-DEFINED, NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 1000 MILES EAST OF BERMUDA IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE CENTER. THIS LOW COULD GRADUALLY ACQUIRE SOME SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WHILE IT MEANDERS OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC OCEAN BETWEEN BERMUDA AND THE AZORES. THERE IS A LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA, THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS TO 5 DAYS.
