A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA IS
MOVING WESTWARD NEAR 30 MPH. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE
SYSTEM HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...AN AIR
FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM
HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A CLOSED CIRCULATION. THE AIRCRAFT
REPORTED TROPICAL-STORM FORCE WINDS IN THE SYSTEM...AND ASSOCIATED
GALE WARNINGS CAN BE FOUND IN MARINE FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE
TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER. STRONG WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER JAMAICA
TONIGHT OR WEDNESDAY. ALL INTERESTS ELSEWHERE IN THE CENTRAL AND
WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AS
IT STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM. ANOTHER
AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM THIS EVENING.
