TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

NWS/TPC NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL

530 PM EDT SUN AUG 8 2004

 

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

 

THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO HAVE BECOME A LITTLE BETTER

ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS AND CONSIST OF AN AREA OF

CLOUDINESS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOCATED OVER THE EXTREME NORTHWEST

CARIBBEAN SEA. THIS SYSTEM HAS SOME POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL

DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT MOVES SLOWLY

NORTHWESTWARD. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT

IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON...IF NECESSARY.

 

A TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD

ISLANDS AND IS MOVING WESTWARD NEAR 25 MPH. THERE IS NO SIGN OF

TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION...HOWEVER THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO

BRING THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF THE LESSER ANTILLES OVER THE

NEXT DAY OR TWO.

 

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY.
