TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1130 AM EDT FRI AUG 31 2007

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

SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD BE FORMING A LITTLE MORE THAN 200 MILES EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS.  AN AIR FORCE PLANE IS GETTING READY TO
INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM AND DETERMINE IF A TROPICAL CYCLONE HAS
FORMED.  WATCHES AND WARNINGS MAY BE PROMPTLY REQUIRED FOR A
PORTION OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS...AND ALL INTERESTS IN THAT AREA
SHOULD BE READY TO TAKE QUICK ACTION. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...HEAVY SQUALLS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

A SMALL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 215 MILES SOUTH OF
NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED THIS
MORNING. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR THIS SYSTEM TO
BECOME A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE IT REACHES COOLER WATERS. THIS
SYSTEM COULD ALSO STRENGTHEN AS A NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES NEAR OR OVER THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES.

A NEARLY STATIONARY AND RATHER STRONG NON-TROPICAL LOW HAS DEVELOPED
ABOUT 700 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND. THIS
SYSTEM HAS BEGUN TO ACQUIRE SOME TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND WILL
BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC.

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