However, the system does not currentlyhave a well-defined center of circulation. Environmental conditionsare forecast to be sufficiently favorable for development over thenext few days, and a tropical depression or storm is likely to formduring the next day or so. The system is expected to movenorthwestward at 10 to 15 mph today, and then turn northward overthe central subtropical Atlantic by late tonight or Tuesday.Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, canbe found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National WeatherService.* Formation chance through 48 hours high 70 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days high 80 percent.Off the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Coast (AL97):Shower and T-Storm activity has changed little in associationwith an area of low pressure located offshore of theU.S. Mid-Atlantic coast.
