DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the poorly defined disturbance was 
centered near latitude 9.3 North, longitude 55.2 West. The system is 
moving toward the west near 23 mph (37 km/h). A westward or west- 
northwestward motion is expected through Thursday. On the forecast 
track, the system will pass near or over portions of the southern 
Windward Islands by tonight, and move over the southern Caribbean 
Sea or near the northern coast of Venezuela on Wednesday and 
Thursday.
 
Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slight strengthening is forecast during the next few days if 
the disturbance remains over water.
 
Conditions appear conducive for development if the disturbance
remains over water, and it will likely become a tropical storm
near the southern Windward Islands or while moving westward across 
the southern Caribbean Sea.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
