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

DATA FROM NOAA BUOYS INDICATE THAT A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE 
ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF
THE LESSER ANTILLES.  CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
LOW HAVE CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION SINCE THIS MORNING. 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
TO FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.  AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY ENROUTE TO INVESTIGATE THE AREA.

ANOTHER BROAD LOW PRESSURE AREA IS LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN TROPICAL
ATLANTIC ABOUT 400 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM REMAIN
DISORGANIZED.  HOWEVER...SLOW 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.
