A TROPICAL WAVE CENTERED MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE LESSER
ANTILLES REMAINS WELL ORGANIZED. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS APPEAR
FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME DURING THE
NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT MOVES WESTWARD.

A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS
AND AFRICA HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION DURING THE NIGHT.

SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TROPICAL WAVE MIDWAY BETWEN AFRICA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES HAS
DIMINISHED AND DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO IS NO LONGER
ANTICIPATED. THE TROPICAL WAVE SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE WESTWARD AT
15 MPH.

SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS LIMITED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE TROPICAL
WAVE LOCATED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE LESSER ANTILLES.
ANY DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO IS
EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH.

SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS LIMITED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
WESTWARD-MOVING TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 750 MILES EAST OF THE
LESSER ANTILLES. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT
EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

A TROPICAL WAVE IS APPROACHING THE LESSER ANTILLES...ACCOMPANIED BY
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS AS IT CONTINUES MOVING WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.
