Storm Ernesto located several hundred miles southeast of Cape Race,

Windward Islands is producing a large area of disorganized
cloudiness and showers.  Some gradual development of this system
is possible over the next couple of days while it moves west-

the eastern Caribbean Sea. Regardless of development, this system is
likely to bring locally heavy rainfall to portions of the Lesser
Antilles during the next few days.
