800 PM EDT MON SEP 22 2008

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

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC CONTINUES TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF THE
EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...PUERTO RICO...AND THE U.S. AND
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.  WHILE THE CIRCULATION HAS BECOME BETTER
DEFINED DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...THE ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POORLY ORGANIZED AT THIS TIME DUE TO
UPPER-LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS.  THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO
AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AWAY FROM HISPANIOLA.  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.

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