THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON WEAKENING HURRICANE ALEX...MOVING RAPIDLY EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF CAPE RACE EWFOUNDLAND.
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO...A TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDING FROM HAITI AND SOUTHEASTERN CUBA SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN...CONTINUE TO PRODUCE DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUDERSTORMS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS REMAIN UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...BUT MAY GRADUALLY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH AND BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO PORTIONS OF HISPANIOLA...SOUTHEASTERN CUBA AND JAMAICA. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM THIS AFTERNOON...IF NECESSARY.
A WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED ABOUT 1050 MILES
EAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS. THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION AS IT MOVES WESTWARD ABOUT 15 MPH. WHILE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME...A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
