Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N between 55W and 64W

.SYNOPSIS...A tropical wave, currently located east of the 
Windward Islands near 53W, is expected to move across the 
Tropical N Atlantic from tonight through Wed, across the eastern 
Caribbean Wed night through Thu and across the central Caribbean 
Fri through Sat night. This system  has become better organized 
this morning.  Additional development is expected, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form within the next few days 
as the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 kt 
across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea. Interests in the 
Windward Islands should closely monitor the progress of this 
system as heavy rainfall and gusty winds could affect these 
islands beginning on Wednesday.
