Tropical Weather Outlook


Statement as of 11:30 am EDT on August 17, 2005


For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on hurricane
Irene...located about 720 miles south-southwest of Cape Race
Newfoundland.
The remnant of Tropical Depression Ten is a low pressure area
located about 350 miles east of the Leeward Islands that is moving
west-northwestward near 10 mph. Although upper-level winds are not
particularly favorable for development...this system has become
slightly better organized since yesterday...and it has the
potential to re-develop into a tropical depression later today or
on Thursday. An Air Force Reserve unit reconnaissance aircraft is
scheduled to investigate the area on Thursday...if necessary.
On its present track...the system should pass to the north of the
Leeward Islands...however...interests in and near the northern
Leeward Islands and the Virgin Islands should closely monitor its
progress.
Elsewhere... tropical storm formation is not expected through
Thursday.
