NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT MON AUG 22 2016

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Fiona, located several hundred miles north-northeast of
the Leeward Islands, and has initiated advisories on newly formed
Tropical Depression Seven, located several hundred miles
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.

A tropical wave located about 550 miles east of the Lesser Antilles
continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
Conditions are marginally conducive for some gradual development
during the next few days while the disturbance moves westward to
west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.  Environmental conditions could
become more conducive for development late this week when the system
is expected to move near Hispaniola and the southeastern and central
Bahamas.  An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is
scheduled to investigate this system on Tuesday, if necessary.
Interests in the Lesser Antilles, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto
Rico should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
