<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Storm Gaston, located about 1200 miles east-southeast of Bermuda.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">1. A weak area of low pressure extending from eastern Cuba northward
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">to the central Bahamas is producing disorganized shower and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">thunderstorm activity. Upper-level winds are expected to remain
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">unfavorable for significant development during the next couple of
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">days while the system moves west-northwestward at about 10 mph.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">development early next week when the system moves into the eastern
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Gulf of Mexico. The Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">scheduled to investigate this system this morning has been
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">canceled.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Regardless of development, heavy rains, with the potential to cause
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">flash floods and mud slides, are likely over Hispaniola today and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">over eastern and central Cuba through the weekend. Gusty winds and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">locally heavy rainfall are likely over portions of the Bahamas, and
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">will likely spread into parts of South Florida and the Florida Keys
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">over the weekend. Interests elsewhere in Florida and the eastern
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Gulf of Mexico should continue to monitor the progress of this
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">disturbance.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">2. A weak area of disturbed weather is located over the north-central
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Gulf of Mexico. Surface pressures in this area are currently high,
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">and little to no development of this system is expected before it
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">reaches the coast of Texas over the weekend.
