Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized in association with a low pressure area located about 475 miles southeast of Bermuda.
Environmental conditions are becoming increasingly less favorable for tropical cyclone formation, and the low is expected to move northward and merge with a frontal system over the north-central
Atlantic in a couple of days.
