26 Oct Fri 2018
Tropical Report
For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A low pressure system located about 1200 miles east-northeast of the
northern Leeward Islands has changed little in organization since
last night. However, environmental conditions appear conducive for
further development and this system will likely become a tropical or
subtropical cyclone later today or tonight while it moves generally
northward over the central Atlantic. After that time, the low is
forecast to turn westward and remain well to the north or northeast
of the Lesser Antilles through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…high…90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…90 percent.
Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS

For the eastern North Pacific…east of 140 degrees west longitude:
1. A small area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located
several hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec is associated
with a trough of low pressure. Although strong upper-level winds
and nearby dry air may limit development during the next couple of
days, some slow organization of this disturbance is possible late
this weekend and early next week while it moves generally westward
at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…20 percent.

Description:
The Global Infrared Satellite image shows clouds by their temperature. Red and blue areas indicate cold (high) cloud tops. Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of terahertz radiation and microwaves. Weather satellites equipped with scanning radiometers produce thermal or infrared images which can then enable a trained analyst to determine cloud heights and types, to calculate land and surface water temperatures, and to locate ocean surface features.
