530 PM EDT MON AUG 14 2006

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

A BROAD SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA EXTENDS FROM JUST NORTH OF THE
NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FOR A FEW
HUNDRED MILES. UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY BECOME A
LITTLE MORE FAVORABLE AND SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS
POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT REMAINS NEARLY
STATIONARY OR DRIFTS NORTHWARD.  AN AIR FORCE RESERVE
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM
TOMORROW...IF NECESSARY.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED
BETWEEN THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA AND THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS HAVE
WEAKENED THIS AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM REMAINS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.  REGARDLESS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE
LIKELY TO SPREAD OVER THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS LATER TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. 

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