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

THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE TODAY WITH 
SEVERAL AREAS OF DISTURBED WEATHER. 

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IS A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED 1650 MILES EAST OF 
THE LESSER ANTILLES MOVING WESTWARD AROUND 20 MPH.  SATELLITE IMAGES 
INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM IS GRADUALLY BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED... 
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION 
TO FORM DURING THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS.  

ANOTHER TROPICAL WAVE IS NEARING THE LESSER ANTILLES ACCOMPANIED BY 
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY WINDS.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO 
SPREAD OVER THESE ISLANDS TODAY.  ALTHOUGH SURFACE PRESSURES ARE 
FALLING IN THE AREA...UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT CONDUCIVE FOR 
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT.

AND YET...ANOTHER AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS...ASSOCIATED WITH A 
TROPICAL WAVE...IS AFFECTING THE GULF OF HONDURAS AND PORTIONS OF 
YUCATAN AND CENTRAL AMERICA. DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ANTICIPATED AS THE 
SYSTEM MOVES INLAND. 

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