Tropical Weather Outlook for the next 7 days:

— A few hundred miles off the southeast coast of the United States: .A storm-force non-tropical low pressure area is located along a frontal boundary, and is likely to move slowly and erratically over the next couple of days; it could gradually acquire
subtropical characteristics if it remains over the Gulf Stream. There is a 40% chance a subtropical cyclone could form during the middle to latter portions of the week when the system begins to move northeastward away from the eastern United States.

— The eastern Pacific 155 miles west-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico: Tropical Storm Trudy has 60 mph winds and is moving west at 6 mph. Rapid weakening should make it post-tropical tonight, while swells produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along southwestern and west-central Mexico today; no U.S. threat is indicated.
