Tropical Weather Outlook
Statement as of 8:00 am EDT on October 6, 2008
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...

Showers and thunderstorms over the southern Bay of Campeche are
associated with a small low pressure area. The low is forecast to
continue westward during the next 12 to 24 hours and some
development is possible before it moves inland over Mainland Mexico
tonight or Tuesday. Regardless of development...locally heavy
rains and the potential for flash floods and mudslides are possible
over coastal regions of southern Mexico near the the Bay of
Campeche. These conditions could spread westward over the next day
or two.
An area of low pressure has developed over the far eastern Atlantic
about 400 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Significant
development of this system is not expected due to unfavorable
upper-level winds.
Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.
