REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE AREA...CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC...IS BECOMING BETTER DEFINED. HOWEVER...THE ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POORLY ORGANIZED AT THIS TIME DUE TO UPPER-LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT... AND THE CENTER OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE ATLANTIC NORTH OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.Basically, the above is an extension from the one issued last night. The only difference is that the tropical wave is getting better organized.
THEREFORE...THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME AS IT MOVES SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THIS SYSTEM BECOMES A TROPICAL DEPRESSION...IT WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PUERTO RICO...THE U.S. AND BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS...AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC THROUGH MONDAY. THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES.
