    A large area of cloudiness and showers near the Leeward Islands
    extending eastward for several hundred miles is associated with the
    interaction of an upper-level trough and a tropical wave. Although
    upper-level winds are forecast to be too strong for development over
    the next couple of days, heavy rain is possible in the Leeward
    Islands while the system moves through the area. By late in the
    weekend, when the system is forecast to be near or north of Puerto
    Rico, environmental conditions are forecast to become more
    favorable, and some development of the disturbance is possible early
    next week while it moves northwestward.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent"

    A large area of cloudiness and showers extending from the eastern
    Caribbean Sea across the Lesser Antilles into the Atlantic is
    associated with the interaction of an upper-level trough and a
    west-northwestward moving tropical wave. Development, if any,
    during the next day or two should be slow to occur. However,
    environmental conditions are expected to become more favorable
    by early next week, when the system is forecast to be near
    Hispaniola or the southeastern Bahamas. Regardless of development,
    locally heavy rains are possible over the Lesser Antilles, the
    Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola during the next few
    days.


    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium.. 40 percent

    A large area of cloudiness and showers extending from the
    northeastern Caribbean Sea across the Lesser Antilles into the
    Atlantic is associated with the interaction of an upper-level trough
    and a west-northwestward moving tropical wave. There are no signs
    of organization at this time. However, some gradual development of
    this disturbance is possible by early next week when it is forecast
    to be near or east of the Bahamas. Regardless of development,
    locally heavy rains are possible over the Lesser Antilles, the
    Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola during the next few
    days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium..50 percent

    This could be the ticket buoys, and the last of the season.
