Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook
800 AM EDT Wed Sep 23 2026
Active Systems:
Far Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
An area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave that just
moved off the west coast of Africa, has formed about 600 miles
southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. This system could become a
short-lived tropical depression on Thursday or Friday while it
moves northwestward to northward. However, strong upper-level
winds should end the opportunity for development by the weekend.
Interests in the Cabo Verde Islands should monitor the progress of
this system as gusty winds and areas of heavy rain are possible
there by the end of the week. It has a low (30 percent) chance of formation in 48 hours and a medium (40 percent) chance in the next 7 days.
Central Subtropical Atlantic (Former Tropical Storm Fay):
A low pressure system, formerly Tropical Storm Fay, is located
about 800 miles southwest of the Azores. Shower activity
associated with the low has increased this morning. However,
significant re-development of this system is unlikely while it
moves generally westward over the next couple of days. By the
weekend, increasingly strong upper-level winds should inhibit
re-development. It has a low (20 percent) chance of formation in 48 hours and a low (20 percent) chance in the next 7 days.

Autumn has arrived on a drier note across south Mississippi and southeast Louisiana. Little or no precipitation is expected across the area through the weekend. A frontal boundary near Interstate 20 will move across the area Thursday and Thursday night. It won't bring cold air, or even really cooler air, to the area, but it will bring lower dew points, which means lower humidity during the day for the weekend. This will also be noticeable in morning lows beginning Friday morning, especially for the northern half of the area, which could see some places with morning lows in the mid 60s. Highs in the lower and middle 90s today and Thursday will only fall about 3 degrees for the weekend.
