TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT THU OCT 16 2008

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

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON WEAKENING
HURRICANE OMAR...LOCATED ABOUT 350 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE NORTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS.

A LARGE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A WESTWARD MOVING
TROPICAL WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 875 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE
SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS.  SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM IS
POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10
TO 15 MPH.

THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF FORMER TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIXTEEN IS
LOCATED INLAND OVER EASTERN GUATEMALA AND WESTERN HONDURAS.
ALTHOUGH REFORMATION OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL NOT OCCUR DUE TO
LAND INTERACTION...THIS SYSTEM COULD STILL PRODUCE BRIEF PERIODS OF
STRONG GUSTY WINDS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE GULF OF HONDURAS...ALONG
WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF NICARAGUA...HONDURAS...EL SALVADOR...BELIZE...
AND GUATEMALA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SYSTEM DRIFTS
WESTWARD.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
