SPECIAL TROPICAL DISTURBANCE STATEMENT
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
600 PM EDT WED JUL 16 2008

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT HAS JUST COMPLETED
ITS MISSION IN THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS.  ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM HAS A BROAD CIRCULATION...
DATA FROM THE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM LACKS A SINGLE WELL
DEFINED CIRCULATION CENTER.  IN ADDITION...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW HAS BECOME LESS ORGANIZED THIS
AFTERNOON.  CONSEQUENTLY...THE SYSTEM IS NOT BEING CLASSIFIED AS A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT THIS TIME.

REGARDLESS...LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY IN THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
WESTWARD AT 20-25 MPH. ALL INTERESTS IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM...SINCE IT COULD
BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME TONIGHT OR TOMORROW. FOR
INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR AREA...PLEASE CONSULT STATEMENTS FROM
YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE.
