Tropical storm organizing in the southwest Caribbean, 80% chance within 48 hours
Tropical Weather Outlook from NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 700 AM EST Sun Nov 3 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Subtropical
Storm Patty, located over the northeastern Atlantic Ocean near the
Azores Islands.
1. Southwestern Caribbean Sea (AL97):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with
a broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Caribbean Sea.
Gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical
depression is likely to form within the next couple of days while
moving generally northward to northwestward over the central and
western Caribbean Sea. Regardless of development, locally heavy
rains are possible over portions of the adjacent land areas of the
western Caribbean, including Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Cuba.
Interests in the western Caribbean Sea should monitor the progress
of this system as tropical storm watches or warnings could be
required later today or tonight for portions of the area. An Air
Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this
system later today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
2. Near the Greater Antilles:
A trough of low pressure a couple hundred miles east of the
southeastern Bahamas continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms along with gusty winds over the adjacent waters of the
southwestern Atlantic. Slow development of this system is possible
during the day or so while it moves westward toward the southeastern
Bahamas and eastern Cuba. This system is expected to be absorbed
into the low pressure area over the Caribbean Sea (AL97) by late
Monday, ending its chances of development. Regardless of formation,
locally heavy rains are possible during the next couple of days
across the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola,
eastern Cuba, and the southeastern Bahamas.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

WT HAB Tracker from the satellite monitoring program of National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)
The latest image of Louisiana southeast water bodies caught Nov 2 at wind speed 7.9 mph shows the widespread and lakewide HABs running that 600 to 700 thousand cells per ml in Lac des Allemands, Bayou Fortier, Lake Verret, Lake Palourde, Avoca Island cutoff. Lake Salvador HAB are more dispersed in this image, hanging around the middle of the lake at 400 thousand cells per ml. Widespread HABS in Bayou Rigoletts and the Pen are 300 thousand cells per ml. Black Bay HAB is widespread, 400 thousand cells per ml. Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas are clear of HABs. See the latest satellite image of southeast LA water bodies, here.
