TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT FRI AUG 15 2008
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED THIS MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER PUERTO RICO. WHILE THIS
SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...IT DOES NOT YET
APPEAR TO HAVE A WELL-DEFINED CENTER OF CIRCULATION AT THE SURFACE.
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD FORM AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO...
ALTHOUGH WHEN AND WHERE A DEPRESSION MIGHT FORM IS UNCERTAIN...IN
PART DUE TO POTENTIAL INTERACTIONS WITH THE LAND MASS OF
HISPANIOLA. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS
SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM LATER TODAY. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR OVER PORTIONS
OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...AND HISPANIOLA TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AND OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN CUBA...THE TURKS AND
CAICOS...AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS ON SATURDAY. THESE RAINS
COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES. INTERESTS
IN THESE AREAS SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
