NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT SAT AUG 23 2008

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

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM FAY...CENTERED NEAR THE COAST OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE ABOUT
75 MILES EAST OF PENSACOLA.

A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD
ISLANDS CONTINUES TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION BUT NO
EVIDENCE OF A SURFACE CIRCULATION. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FAVOR
SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
AS IT MOVES GENERALLY WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS WAVE SHOULD
SPREAD SQUALLY WEATHER OVER PORTIONS OF THE WINDWARD AND SOUTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS TODAY AND SUNDAY.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED 
ABOUT 800 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS HAVE BECOME A
LITTLE MORE ORGANIZED THIS AFTERNOON. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE WAVE MOVES
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 20 MPH.

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