TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 PM EDT SAT AUG 5 2006

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF FORMER TROPICAL DEPRESSION CHRIS IS
LOCATED NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF CENTRAL CUBA...OR ABOUT 275 MILES
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF HAVANA.  THE ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY STRETCHES FROM THE EASTERN HALF OF CUBA NORTHWARD INTO THE
NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS.  THIS ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED THIS
AFTERNOON...IN PART DUE TO THE HEATING OF THE DAY OVER CUBA...BUT
OVERALL THIS SYSTEM SHOWS NO SIGNS OF REGENERATION.  SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE ACROSS CUBA...THE FLORIDA KEYS...AND
EXTREME SOUTH FLORIDA THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY...AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

THE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAD MOVED SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE
NORTH-CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO EARLIER TODAY HAS WEAKENED
CONSIDERABLY.  SURFACE PRESSURES REMAIN HIGH IN THE AREA AND
DEVELOPMENT IS NOT EXPECTED. 

A BROAD AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IS LOCATED ABOUT 600 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.  SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY
WESTWARD.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY.
