Hmmm I have friends on a liveaboard in the Turks and Caicos this week....hopefully it will not get there before they leave to come home this saturday

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

A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
located 650 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Associated shower
and thunderstorm activity has been gradually increasing...and a
tropical depression could form during the next day or so as the
system moves west-northwestward or northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
An Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to
investigate this system later today...if necessary.

A large and complex area of disturbed weather is located over the
eastern Atlantic extending from near the Cape Verde Islands
southwestward for several hundred miles. Although this system
has changed little in organization since yesterday...a tropical
depression could still form within this area during the next day or
two as it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave over the
southwestern Caribbean Sea have diminished.

Elsewhere.. tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.

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

Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized in association with a
broad area of low pressure and a tropical wave located about 200
miles east of the Leeward Islands. Although this system has changed
little since yesterday...upper-level winds are forecast to become
more conducive for development in a couple of days. Showers and
gusty winds could spread over portions of the northern Leeward
Islands during the next day or so as the disturbance moves
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.

The broad low pressure area located about 700 miles west of the
Cape Verde Islands has changed little in organization today. Some
gradual development of this system is possible during the next
couple of days as it moves slowly westward.


Elsewhere.. tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.

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

An area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is passing
over the northern Leeward Islands and is moving westward at 10 to
15 mph. This system is showing some signs of organization...while
upper-level winds are gradually becoming more conducive for
development...and a tropical depression could form later today or
on Friday. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is
scheduled to investigate this system later today...if necessary.
Regardless of development...this system could bring locally heavy
rains and gusty winds to portions of the northern Leeward
Islands...Puerto Rico...and Hispaniola during the next day or two.

A broad area of low pressure is located about 1200 miles east
of the Lesser Antilles. Shower activity associated with this
system remains limited and disorganized and development...if
any...is expected to be slow to occur as the system continues
moving slowly westward.

Elsewhere.. tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.

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

Surface observations and radar data from Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic show that the center of the low pressure area is
moving inland over the Dominican Republic. This system is
gradually becoming better organized...and NOAA and Air Force
Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft are currently investigating it.
A tropical depression could form at any time during the next day or
two...although when and where a depression might form is uncertain
due to interactions with the land mass of Hispaniola. Heavy rains
and gusty winds are expected over portions of Puerto Rico...the
Dominican Republic...and Haiti...and are expected to spread over
eastern Cuba and the southeastern Bahamas during the next day or
two. Interests in these areas...as well as the remainder of
Cuba...the remainder of the Bahamas...southern Florida...and
Jamaica...should monitor the progress of this system.

A broad area of low pressure centered about 750 miles east of the
Lesser Antilles is producing disorganized shower activity.
Development of this system...if any...should be slow to occur as it
moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.

Elsewhere.. tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.
