Disturbance 1. Offshore the Southeastern U.S.: A non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to form this weekend along a frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coastline. The system could gradually acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics thereafter over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, and a subtropical or tropical depression or storm could form early next week while the system moves generally northwestward toward the coast. Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent and formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
Disturbance 2. Tropical Storm Gordon is poorly organized located about 1145 miles WNW of the Cabo Verde Islands moving WNW over open waters at 9 MPH with maximum sustained winds of 45 MPH. A slightly slower westward or west-southwestward motion is forecast during the next several days. Some weakening is anticipated over the next day or so, and Gordon is forecast to become a depression by early Sunday. Gradual restrengthening is possible by the middle part of next week. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
