TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1130 AM EDT TUE AUG 8 2006

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

A SMALL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
CENTERED ABOUT 825 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS...AND IS
MOVING WESTWARD 15 TO 20 MPH. ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS
MINIMAL AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR
DEVELOPMENT...THIS SYSTEM STILL HAS SOME POTENTIAL TO BECOME A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

A NEARLY STATIONARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED ABOUT 750 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF THE AZORES.  SHOWER ACTIVITY IS MINIMAL AND FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

A TROPICAL WAVE INTERACTING WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW IS PRODUCING
AN AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS OVER THE BAHAMAS AND ADJACENT
WATERS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE UNFAVORABLE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

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