HURRICANE STATUS - LEVEL 4 - NO STORMS EXPECTED

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

1. A LARGE BUT DISORGANIZED AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A
BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES OVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE CENTRAL
AND WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA. THE AREA OF LOWEST PRESSURE IS LOCATED ABOUT 175
MILES SOUTH OF GRAND CAYMAN AND REMAINS SEPARATED FROM THE STRONGEST
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. HOWEVER...SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS
POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO BEFORE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS BECOME
UNFAVORABLE. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE
HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM LATER
TODAY...IF NECESSARY. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT... HEAVY RAINS COULD CAUSE
FLASH FLOODS AND MUD SLIDES OVER PORTIONS OF HAITI AND JAMAICA AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY TOWARD THE NORTHWEST OR NORTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

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