DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the disturbance was centered near latitude
23.0 North, longitude 85.8 West. The system is moving toward the
northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h), and a northeastward motion with
an increase in forward speed is expected during the next couple
of days.  On the forecast track, the system should move across the
southeastern Gulf of Mexico tonight, across the southern and
central portions of the Florida Peninsula on Saturday, and then over
the southwestern Atlantic north of the northwestern Bahamas late
Saturday through Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
The system is expected to develop a well-defined center and
become a tropical storm tonight, and some slight strengthening is 
possible while it approaches Florida. Additional strengthening is 
possible after the system moves east of Florida over the western 
Atlantic Saturday night and Sunday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km)
to the east of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

RAINFALL: The potential tropical cyclone will continue to produce

to affect Central Florida, South Florida and the Keys today through
Saturday, and affect northwestern Bahamas tonight through Saturday.
The following storm total rainfall amounts are expected:

Western Cuba: 6 to 10 inches, with isolated maxima of 14 inches.
This rain may cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

Central Florida, South Florida, and the Florida Keys:  4 to 8 inches
with maxima of 12 inches across South Florida and in the Keys  This
rain may produce considerable flash and urban flooding.

Northwestern Bahamas: 3 to 6 inches with maxima of 10 inches. This

in Cuba through tonight, in Florida tonight and on
Saturday, and in the northwestern Bahamas on Saturday.  Tropical
storm conditions are possible in the watch area in Cuba this
afternoon and tonight.

STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Marco Island, FL to Card Sound Bridge...1-3 ft
Middle of Longboat Key, FL to Marco Island, FL...1-2 ft
Charlotte Harbor...1-2 ft
Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas...1-2 ft
Card Sound Bridge to North Miami Beach, FL including Biscayne
Bay...1-2 ft

Extreme Northwestern Bahamas: storm surge could raise water levels 
by as much 1- 3 ft above normal tide levels.

Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

TORNADOES:  A few tornadoes are possible over the southern Florida
Peninsula and the Florida Keys tonight and Saturday.
