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

DESPITE THE WELL-ORGANIZED APPEARANCE ON SATELLITE IMAGES...SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING
OVER FLORIDA AND THE KEYS DOES NOT HAVE A WELL-DEFINED CLOSED
CIRCULATION AND PRESSURES ARE NOT FALLING SIGNIFICANTLY AT THIS
TIME. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO BECOME
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR A TROPICAL STORM AT ANY TIME AS IT MOVES
WESTWARD OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO LATER TODAY. AIR FORCE
RECONAISSANCE PLANES WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THIS AREA TODAY.
OCCASIONAL GUSTY WINDS TO NEAR TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH ALONG WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND
THE KEYS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE TODAY. INTERESTS IN THESE AREAS
SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM.

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