Low Near Bermuda Produces Gale Winds And Rough Seas

The low pressure area near Bermuda is producing gale force winds to the north of the center, as observed on satellite data.Recent buoy data indicate that rough seas of 8 to 12 ft are occurring in this region, with locally higher seas to 16 ft. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection continues.The non-tropical low pressure area is located a few hundred miles south of Bermuda and is producing disorganized convection to the north and east of its center.Environmental conditions could allow this system to gradually acquire some subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days or so while it moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic.By late this weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable for further development of this system.Keep watching as a new non-tropical low could form to its east this weekend, although environmental conditions are unlikely to support significant subtropical or tropical development of that system.The
