For the North Atlantic…Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Special outlook issued to update discussion of the area of low
pressure east of Florida.
Updated: An Air Force Reserve unit reconnaissance aircraft is
investigating the area of low pressure centered about 110 miles east
of Melbourne, Florida. While the low is well defined, the
associated thunderstorm activity is just below the organizational

the thunderstorm activity would result in the formation of a
tropical depression.
Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that peak sustained
winds with the low are about 30-35 mph. The low is moving
southwestward at around 5 mph, but is expected to turn westward
tonight and northward by Wednesday when it will be near the east
coast of Florida. If this system becomes a tropical cyclone, a
