Bye.

Western Atlantic (AL97):
Shower and thunderstorm activity continues in association a
gale-force low pressure system located over the western Atlantic
several hundred miles south of Nova Scotia. However, recent
satellite data indicate that the low is attached to frontal
boundaries, and it is forecast to move quickly toward the
east-northeast at 30 to 35 mph, reaching colder waters by tonight.
As a result, the likelihood of this system becoming a tropical
storm is diminishing. Additional information on the low, including
gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
