TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT MON SEP 22 2008

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

THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE AREA PRODUCING HEAVY RAINS OVER PUERTO RICO
AND ADJACENT WATERS CONTINUES TO LACK A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE
CIRCULATION CENTER.  HOWEVER...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
BECOME A LITTLE MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND THE SYSTEM
STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES SLOWLY TO THE NORTH OR NORTH-NORTHWEST.
HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER PUERTO RICO AND THE
U.S. AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS INTO TUESDAY...AND THESE RAINS HAVE
ALREADY PRODUCED LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS.  INTERESTS IN
PUERTO RICO...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...HISPANIOLA...THE TURKS AND
CAICOS ISLANDS...AND THE SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AND PRODUCTS ISSUED BY THEIR
LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST OFFICES. 

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