For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Epsilon, located over the west-central Atlantic Ocean.

1. Satellite, radar and surface data indicate that an area of low 
pressure located about 125 miles west-southwest of Grand Cayman 
Island continues to become better organized, and if current trends 
continue, advisories will be initiated on a tropical depression this 
afternoon or evening.  Environmental conditions are conducive for 
further development while the low drifts toward the north and 
northwest this weekend. The system could move near western Cuba on 
Monday and move across the southern Gulf of Mexico or the 
northeastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday.  Interests 
in western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula should monitor the 
progress of this low.  A NOAA Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance 
aircraft is en route to investigate the disturbance this afternoon. 
Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall will be possible 
over portions of the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Cuba, and northeastern 
Yucatan through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent.
