Tropical Update
Shower activity associated with a non-tropical area of low pressure, located several hundred miles SSW of Cape Race, Newfoundland, has increased a little since yesterday. However, environmental conditions are only marginally conducive, and little additional development is expected while the low moves little over the next day or so. On Friday, the low is expected to accelerate NE and open up into a trough of low pressure to the south of Atlantic Canada.
