TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1030 PM EDT THU AUG 17 2006

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

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AS WELL AS SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY INDICATE
THAT THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 120 MILES
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF SAVANNAH GEORGIA IS BECOMING LESS ORGANIZED AND
HAS LIMITED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.  THE POTENTIAL FOR
THIS SYSTEM TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAS DIMINISHED
CONSIDERABLY...AND UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME EVEN
MORE UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT ON FRIDAY.  SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS COULD STILL AFFECT COASTAL
AREAS OF EXTREME SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...GEORGIA...AND
NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS THE SYSTEM DRIFTS
SOUTHWESTWARD.

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