Good try... but may I point out something? I noticed a few glaring errors with the date/time group.

First, April 1st, 2006 is Saturday... not Sunday.
Second, the header DTG is 140101, meaning it was transmitted on the 14th of the month, at 0101Z. To match 2:30pm EST Apr 1st, you should try 011930.

...THEN A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM LATER TONIGHT OR MONDAY AS...


Third, since it is Saturday, a statement would never say something would form tonight (Saturday) or Monday, excluding Sunday.
