TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT THU AUG 14 2008

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

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE HAS
CONTINUED TO MOVE WESTWARD ABOUT 15 MPH AND IS NOW CENTERED OVER
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. SATELLITE IMAGES AND AIRCRAFT DATA INDICATE
THAT THE SYSTEM HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS. HOWEVER...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM AT ANY TIME DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO.  REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...HEAVY RAINS
AND GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY SPREAD OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...AND HISPANIOLA
DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS AS WELL AS THE
TURK AND CAICOS...SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS AND EASTERN CUBA SHOULD
MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
  
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 1000 MILES EAST
OF THE LESSER ANTILLES IS ACCOMPANIED BY DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO
OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
