================================================================
1. Northwestern Atlantic:  A non-tropical area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southeast of Nova Scotia, Canada, is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity to the west of its center.  Some
limited tropical or subtropical development is possible over the next day or so as the low meanders near the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream.  The system is expected to move northward over cooler waters by Wednesday, ending its chances for tropical development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
 
2. North-Central Gulf:  A surface trough near the coast of Louisiana is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  While development of this system is not anticipated before it moves inland later
today, locally heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding across portions of the northern Gulf coast over the next day or so.  For more information on the rainfall hazards related to this system, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.
