On this Thursday morning, a non-tropical area of low pressure is located over the Atlantic Ocean about 1000 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, continuing to produce gale-force winds and widespread cloudiness and showers over the central Atlantic. This system could acquire some subtropical characteristics late Friday or Saturday while it moves north-northeastward over the north-central Atlantic. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service at www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml.

On this Thursday morning, NHC is watching an elongated area of disturbed over the eastern North Pacific Ocean extending a few hundred miles south of the coast of southern Mexico. Development of this system is not expected during the next couple of days, but environmental conditions could become somewhat more conducive for development late this weekend or early next week while the disturbance moves westward to west-northwestward away from the coast of Mexico.

On this Wednesday morning, NHC is watching a broad non-tropical area of low pressure located over the Atlantic Ocean a few hundred miles east-northeast of the northern Lesser Antilles, producing widespread cloudiness and showers. Although this system is expected to strengthen into a non-tropical gale over the central Atlantic within the next day or so, it could acquire some subtropical characteristics late this week or this weekend while it moves northward or north-northeastward over the north-central Atlantic. Additional information on this system can be found in the High Seas Forecast issued by the National Weather Service at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml

We're now in the last month of the official hurricane season, which ends on November 30th. Even though the average number of tropical cyclones drops off sharply from just a few weeks ago, November still has its share. Here's a map showing the tracks of all November tropical cyclones (tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricanes) that have occurred since 1851 across the Atlantic basin There are more than 100! Seven out of the past nine seasons have had a named storm in November. Don't let your guard down.

For now, there are no signs of tropical cyclone development during the next five days. www.hurricanes.gov

No tropical cyclone formation is expected over the Atlantic basin or the eastern North Pacific basin during the next five days. The hurricane season ends officially on November 30th.

On this Friday morning, NHC is monitoring an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, associated with a broad area of low pressure located about a hundred miles north of the coast of Honduras. While this system is producing winds to near gale force north of the center, development is not expected due to strong upper-level winds. It has a near zero chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next five days. The low is forecast to move little over the next few days, and locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of the eastern Yucatan peninsula, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica through the weekend.

Hurricane Seymour is rapidly weakening due to a combination of southwesterly vertical wind shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures, Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued rapid weakening is expected, and Seymour is likely to weaken to a tropical storm this afternoon and become a remnant low pressure system on Friday.

Seymour is centered as of 8 a.m. PDT (11 a.m EDT) about 845 miles (1355 km) west of the southern tip of Baja California. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km). There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Hurricane Seymour has begun to quickly weaken. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher gusts - a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Since Seymour is a small tropical cyclone and will be traversing cooler waters, the weakening trend should become increasingly more rapid. Seymour should weaken to a tropical storm on Thursday and a remnant low pressure system on Friday.
