The Tropical Weather Outlook

Dorian has regenerated into a tropical depression east of Florida. It is moving N at 5 Kt. It poses no danger to the Bay Islands or north coast of Honduras.

A weak trough will approach the Leeward Islands Monday night and Tuesday ...moving into the far eastern Caribbean Wednesday.

Else where, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.

The SAL continues to elongated and increase in the area covered. But it has decreased overall in density. It now reaches from Africa across the Atlantic to Haiti and Santo Domingo. See Figs 9 and 9a.
