A MORE STABLE AND MARGINALLY DRIER LOWER ATMOSPHERE WILL LIMIT SHOWER ACTIVITY
OVER THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD.

AT 11:00 AM TODAY, THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM GORDON WAS LOCATED SOUTH OF THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE, AND IN THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC, TROPICAL STORM FLORENCE CONTINUES
TO MOVE SLOWLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD. THESE SYSTEMS POSE NO THREAT TO THE EASTERN
CARIBBEAN REGION.

A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN TROPICAL ATLANTIC, IS MOVING SLOWLY
WESTWARD AND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS LIKELY TO FORM BY LATE THIS WEEK OR THIS
WEEKEND.
