Here is the Saturday 8 p.m. EDT NHC Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook: NHC is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Fay, centered about 165 miles south of Bermuda. Elsewhere, the cloudiness and thunderstorms associated with a small low pressure area located a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands have become better organized during the past several hours. Although dry air may hamper development, the overall environment is expected to be generally conducive, and a tropical depression could form during the next day or so. The low is forecast to move westward at around 10 mph, and interests from the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico to Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas should monitor its progress. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this disturbance on Sunday afternoon, if necessary. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rains and gusty winds are expected to move across the Leeward Islands starting early Sunday. Also, widespread but disorganized showers and thunderstorms, located several hundred miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, are associated with a westward-moving tropical wave. Upper-level winds are expected to remain unfavorable, and significant development of this system is unlikely. Get the latest on the tropics overnight by visiting the NHC website at hurricanes.gov
