For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Frances...centered about 740 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands...and on newly upgraded Tropical Storm Gaston ...centered about 130 miles southeast of Charleston South Carolina.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with the low pressure area centered about 225 miles south-southwest of Bermuda have become better organized this morning. A tropical depression could form from this system later today or Sunday as it moves northwestward.

Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through Sunday.

I surely believe that if the central overcast of the disturbance becomes stronger with heavier thunderstorms, it will become our next tropical depression. Right now the showers are kind of weak, probably that's why the NHC have declined to upgrade the Burmuda Disturbance.

Looks likely. I didn't realize it was so close to Gaston.

Anyone thinking this could come close to affecting Cape Cod??? I know that is a ways out, but some of the models bring it pretty close.
