DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the disturbance was centered near
latitude 24.5 North, longitude 83.7 West. The system is moving
toward the northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h), and a northeastward 
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the 
next couple of days.  On the forecast track, the system should move 
across the southern and central portions of the Florida Peninsula on
Saturday, and then over the southwestern Atlantic north of the
northwestern Bahamas late Saturday through Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. No change in status or strength is expected before the 
disturbance moves across Florida, but the system is expected to 
develop a well-defined center and strengthen slightly late this 
weekend and early next week over the western Atlantic.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km)
east of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

RAINFALL: The potential tropical cyclone will continue to produce 
heavy rains across western Cuba tonight. Heavy rainfall will also 
affect the northwestern Bahamas, the Keys, South Florida, and 
Central Florida tonight through Saturday. The following storm total 
rainfall amounts are expected:

Western Cuba: 6 to 10 inches, with isolated maxima of 14 inches. 
This rain may cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

Central Florida, South Florida, and the Florida Keys: 4 to 8 inches 
with isolated maxima of 12 inches across South Florida and in the 
Keys. This rain may produce considerable flash and urban flooding.

Northwestern Bahamas: 3 to 6 inches with maxima of 10 inches. This 
rain may produce flash and urban flooding.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
in Cuba through tonight, in Florida tonight and on Saturday, and in 
the northwestern Bahamas on Saturday.  Tropical storm conditions 
are possible in the watch area in Cuba tonight.
 
STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
 
Marco Island, FL to Card Sound Bridge...1-3 ft
Middle of Longboat Key, FL to Marco Island, FL...1-2 ft
Charlotte Harbor...1-2 ft
Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas...1-2 ft
Card Sound Bridge to North Miami Beach, FL including Biscayne
Bay...1-2 ft
 
Extreme Northwestern Bahamas: Storm surge could raise water levels
by as much 1 to 3 ft above normal tide levels.
 
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.
 
TORNADOES:  A few tornadoes are possible over the southern Florida
Peninsula and the Florida Keys tonight and Saturday.
