===================================================================

1. Central and Western Tropical Atlantic (AL93):  A low pressure system located several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands, has become better defined with showers and thunderstorms becoming better organized this afternoon. If these trends continue, advisories could be initiated on a tropical depression or storm later today or tonight. The system is expected to move generally west-northwestward to northwestward into the
western tropical Atlantic, well north of the Leeward Islands. Additional information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

2. Eastern Caribbean Sea (AL94):  Showers and thunderstorms have increased but remain disorganized in association with a tropical wave over the northeastern Caribbean Sea.  This wave is expected to move west-northwestward around 10 to 15 mph, spreading heavy rainfall and gusty winds into Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today, and across the Dominican Republic beginning tonight.  The system is then expected to slow down and turn northwestward when it reaches the southwestern Atlantic late
this week.  Environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for development in a few days, and a tropical depression is likely to form when the disturbance is in the vicinity of the Bahamas.  Interests in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas should monitor the progress of this system. An Air Force Hurricane Hunter Aircraft is en route to perform a system survey to gather data from the surrounding environment.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
