000 ABNT20 KNHC 051755 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 100 PM EST Thu Nov 5 2026 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America: Western and Central Atlantic: A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure area located a few hundred miles south of Bermuda is producing disorganized convection to the north and east of its center. Environmental conditions could allow this system to gradually acquire some subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days or so while it moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By late this weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable for further development of this system. A new non-tropical low could form to its east this weekend. Although environmental conditions are unlikely to support significant subtropical or tropical development of that system, gale-force winds are possible over parts of the central subtropical Atlantic through the weekend. For more information, including Gale Warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php $$ Forecaster Reinhart
