On this Sunday morning, NHC is monitoring a low pressure system located more than 200 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida. Upper-level winds are only marginally favorable, and proximity to dry air to the north of the disturbance could inhibit formation of a tropical cyclone over the next couple of days. By Wednesday, however, environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development of this system while it drifts southward and meanders offshore of the Florida east coast. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system this afternoon, if necessary. Over the eastern North Pacific Ocean, NHC is issuing advisories on Tropical Depression Four-E, which could become a tropical storm later today. Elsewhere, a weak area of low pressure is located a few hundred miles south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. The proximity of this disturbance to Tropical Depression Four-E may limit development during the next couple of days, but environmental conditions are expected to become favorable for slow development after that time.
