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

1. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low 
pressure located a little over 1000 miles east of the Windward 
Islands continue to show signs of organization.  Environmental 
conditions are expected to remain conducive for gradual 
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the 
next day or two while the system moves westward to 
west-northwestward across the central and western tropical 
Atlantic.  Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the 
progress of this system.  Additional information, including gale 
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service.  Regardless of development, this system 
has the potential to bring gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding 
to portions of the Lesser Antilles beginning Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
