SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...39.9N 58.2W
ABOUT 535 MI...860 KM SSW OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND

==================================================
1. Off the Southeastern United States:
A weak area of low pressure has formed from a surface trough,
several hundred miles off the coast of the southeastern United
States. However, this system is currently producing only limited
shower and thunderstorm activity and development is likely to be
slow to occur during the next few days. Thereafter, environmental
conditions could become a little more conducive for development. A
tropical depression could still form by this weekend as the low
initially drifts westward before turning northward to northeastward
by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
2. Central Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic continues to
produce a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual
development during the next few days, and a tropical depression
could form late this week or over the weekend as the system moves
generally west-northwestward to northwestward across the central
tropical and subtropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
