Gert Discussion Thread

99L is expected to become a TD by tonight or Sunday 80/80%.


Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad low pressure area

located about 250 miles northeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands

have become better organized during the past several hours, and

visible satellite images suggest a low-level circulation may be

forming. Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive

for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to

form tonight or Sunday while the system moves northwestward. The

low is forecast to turn northward, then northeastward away from the

United States early next week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.
