DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the poorly defined center of the
disturbance was located near latitude 26.0 North, longitude 82.2
West.  The system is moving faster toward the northeast near 18 mph
(30 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through
tonight.  A turn toward the east-northeast with an additional
increase in forward speed is expected on Sunday, followed by a turn
toward the east Monday night.  On the forecast track, the
disturbance is expected to move across southern or central Florida
today, over the southwestern Atlantic north of the Bahamas tonight,
and near or to the north of Bermuda on Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts, mainly in squalls.  The disturbance is expected to become a
tropical storm off the east coast of Florida by tonight, and some
strengthening is forecast tonight through Monday as the system moves
farther away from Florida 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 275 miles (445 km)
to the east of the center.  Over the past few hours, a weather
station at Government Cut near Miami, Florida reported sustained 
winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a wind gust of 53 mph (85 km/h) at an 
elevation of 75 ft (23 m).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface 
observations is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).

South Florida: Storm total of 6 to 10 inches with isolated maxima of
15 inches. Considerable flash and urban flooding is expected.
 
Florida Keys: Storm total of 4 to 8 inches with isolated maxima of

in Florida today, especially in squalls, and in the northwestern
Bahamas by this afternoon.  Tropical storm conditions are still
possible in western Cuba through this morning, mainly in squalls.
 
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 North Miami Beach, FL including Biscayne 
Bay...1-2 ft
Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas...1-2 ft

Extreme Northwestern Bahamas: Storm surge could raise water levels 
by as much 1- 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 couple tornadoes are possible over the southern
Florida Peninsula and Upper Keys through early afternoon.
