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.
