Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is centered N of the area and
continues to move NNE away from the region. Despite its
distance, long period northerly swells generated by Erin will
continue to affect the W Atlantic waters through the next few
days. In the wake of Erin, central Atlantic high pressure will
build WSW toward the central Bahamas and the Straits of Florida.
An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated
with a tropical wave is located a couple hundred nautical miles
ENE of the northern Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for further development of this system, and a
tropical depression is likely to form this weekend while it moves
northwestward and then northward, in between the Lesser Antilles
and Bermuda. This system has a high chance of tropical cyclone
formation, and regardless of development, expecting increasing
winds and building seas with it E of 70W.
