800 AM EDT Sat Jun 17 2017

For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A tropical wave located about 1500 miles east-southeast of the

southern Windward Islands is producing scattered showers and

thunderstorms. This disturbance has changed little in organization

since yesterday. However, some development is expected during the

next few days before conditions become less favorable for tropical

cyclone formation. This system is expected to continue moving toward

the west or west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph over the tropical

Atlantic during the next several days.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…medium…40 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.

2. A broad trough of low pressure is producing a large area of

cloudiness and showers over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the

adjacent land areas. Conditions appear to be favorable for gradual

development of this large disturbance while it moves slowly

northwestward across the Yucatan Peninsula this weekend, and a

tropical cyclone could form early next week over the southern or

central Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of development, heavy rains are

likely to spread over portions of Central America, the Yucatan

Peninsula, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba during the

next several days.

* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…20 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent.
