There are two areas being watched by the National Hurricane Center today, the older area has a 50% chance to develop, and has actually dropped in chances, but those in Jamaica, Cuba, and the Turks and Caicos and Southeastern Bahamas should keep watch on that in case it does develop around this weekend.
The other area which is currently making it windy over much of Florida today (and likely a lot of rain later today and tomorrow, especially in South Florida/Keys) likely has a 10% chance to develop once over the Atlantic, but would be moving away from land but could impact areas in New England later. Both are likely fast moving systems, and odds are they won't have long enough to get fully organized. Neither are listed as invest areas at this time.
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
100 AM EST Wed Nov 15 2023
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Southwestern Caribbean Sea:
A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Caribbean Sea is associated with a broad trough of low pressure. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for development of this system, and a tropical depression could form late this week while the system begins moving northeastward across the western and central portions of the Caribbean Sea. Interests in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the southeastern Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, this system has the potential to produce heavy rains over portions of the Caribbean coast of Central America and the Greater Antilles through the end of this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
2. Offshore Southeast Coast of United States:
An area of low pressure is expected to develop near southern Florida in a day or so. This system is then forecast to move northeastward near the Bahamas and offshore of the east coast of the U.S. late this week and over the weekend. Although development into a tropical cyclone appears unlikely, this system is expected to produce gusty winds and heavy rains across portions of southern Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas during the next couple of days. For more information on this system, including gale warnings, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
