on the north side of this low. Environmental conditions are
gradually becoming more favorable for tropical development and a
tropical depression is likely to form during the next couple of
days. A surface trough will move through the Leeward Islands and
northeast Caribbean today and tonight. 

...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

A ridge extending from near Bermuda to the northern Bahamas will
lift north today as trough currently south of 23N through Puerto
Rico moves northwest into the southern Bahamas by late today.
The trough will move west of the area Thu, supporting fresh to
strong winds off Hispaniola and the approaches to the Windwards
Passage Wed night into Thu morning. The ridge will remain along
