FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC…CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO…

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH INTO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. WHILE THE ASSOCIATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED…MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS LOCATED WELL EAST OF THE LOW CENTER AT THIS TIME. NOAA AND AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM TO SEE IF A TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAS FORMED. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT…THIS SYSTEM COULD BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS TO PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS…THE VIRGIN ISLANDS…PUERTO RICO…AND HISPANIOLA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO…AND INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED ABOUT 1100 MILES EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM REMAINS LIMITED AND DISORGANIZED AND DEVELOPMENT…IF ANY…IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES MOVING WESTWARD ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC…CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO…

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED THIS MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER PUERTO RICO. WHILE THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION…IT DOES NOT YET APPEAR TO HAVE A WELL-DEFINED CENTER OF CIRCULATION AT THE SURFACE. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO… ALTHOUGH WHEN AND WHERE A DEPRESSION MIGHT FORM IS UNCERTAIN…IN PART DUE TO POTENTIAL INTERACTIONS WITH THE LAND MASS OF HISPANIOLA. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM LATER TODAY. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT…HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR OVER PORTIONS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS…PUERTO RICO…AND HISPANIOLA TODAY AND TONIGHT…AND OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN CUBA…THE TURKS AND CAICOS…AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS ON SATURDAY. THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES. INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONCENTRATED WITHIN A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE…ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE…THAT IS LOCATED ABOUT 750 MILES EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
