TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: 1. A SMALL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 800 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS IS MOVING WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH. ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME OF ORGANIZATION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO BE MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR SOME OF THIS SYSTEM BEFORE IT REACHES THE LESSER ANTILLES IN TWO TO THREE DAYS. AFTER THAT TIME, LESS UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO HINDER ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
AN AIR FORCE RESERVE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE DISTURBANCE THIS AFTERNOON, IF NECESSARY. CHANCE OF THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS TO 5 DAYS IS MEDIUM AT 40 TO 50%. 2. AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER HAS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WHILE IT MOVES SLOWLY TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST OR NORTHWEST OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC CHANCE OF FORMATION THROUGH 48 HOURS IS LOW AT 10% AND THROUGH 5 DAYS IS LOW AT 20%.
