In the Tropics:

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a storm-force non-tropical area of low pressure located more than 1000 miles east-northeast of Bermuda have changed little in organization since last night. Although there is still a small chance the system could become a short-lived subtropical storm today, the system is quickly moving over cooler waters and the likelihood of subtropical development has decreased. By this weekend, the system is expected to be absorbed by a larger non-tropical low. Additional information on this system, including hurricane-force wind warnings, can be found in High Seas forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. Formation chance through 48 hours is 30 percent.
