DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the poorly organized disturbance was 
centered near latitude 9.0 North, longitude 54.5 West.  The system 
is moving toward the west near 20 mph (31 km/h).  A westward or 
west-northwestward motion with some increase in forward speed 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. Some strengthening is forecast during the next couple of 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
before reaching 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) to
the north of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb (29.80 inches).
