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 few hundred nautical miles east of
the 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 near or to the north of
the northern Leeward Islands. Regardless of development,
increasing winds and building seas will accompany the feature
across portions of the zones east of 70W.
