TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 AM EDT TUE AUG 15 2006

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

BROAD SURFACE LOW PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM THE NORTHWEST BAHAMAS
NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES. 
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS COULD BECOME MORE FAVORABLE ALLOWING SLOW
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SYSTEM REMAINS
NEARLY STATIONARY OR DRIFTS NORTHWARD.  AN AIR FORCE RESERVE
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM
THIS AFTERNOON...IF NECESSARY.

A TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS.  WHILE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY
FAVORABLE...SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS 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 WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS TODAY.

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