TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT MON SEP 22 2008

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

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR THE EASTERN TIP OF
HISPANIOLA CONTINUES TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF THE
EXTREME EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...PUERTO RICO...AND THE U.S. AND
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.  ALTHOUGH THE CIRCULATION APPEARS TO HAVE
BECOME BETTER DEFINED TODAY...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY
POORLY ORGANIZED.  THIS SYSTEM STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AS IT MOVES TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST AWAY FROM
HISPANIOLA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.  HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
OVER THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. INTERESTS IN PUERTO RICO...THE
VIRGIN ISLANDS...HISPANIOLA...THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS...AND
THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF
THIS SYSTEM AND PRODUCTS ISSUED BY THEIR LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST
OFFICES.  AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WILL BE
INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM SHORTLY.

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