TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 AM EDT WED SEP 24 2008

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

THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER HISPANIOLA CONTINUES TO GENERATE
A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS EXTENDING NORTHWARD FROM THE
NORTHEASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA...ACROSS HISPANIOLA AND PUERTO
RICO...AND INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.  THIS SYSTEM IS INTERACTING
WITH LAND AND HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE
CIRCULATION...BUT ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES NORTH OF HISPANIOLA.  REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFE-THREATENING
FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER
HISPANIOLA...PUERTO RICO...AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS TODAY.  HEAVY
RAINS COULD ALSO SPREAD NORTHWARD OVER THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT. 

INTERESTS IN PUERTO RICO...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC...HAITI...THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS...AND THE
SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF
THIS SYSTEM AND PRODUCTS ISSUED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE WEATHER
FORECAST OFFICES. 

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