This will be Rafael in a short while

UPDATED...AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS
CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE
EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA ABOUT 100 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF DOMINICA.
PRELIMINARY DATA FROM THE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT THE LOW COULD BE
DEVELOPING A WELL-DEFINED CENTER...AND THAT IT IS PRODUCING WINDS
OF TROPICAL-STORM FORCE NEAR PORTIONS OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. IF
ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT DATA CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF A CENTER...
ADVISORIES WOULD BE INITIATED ON TROPICAL STORM RAFAEL EARLY THIS
EVENING. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...90 PERCENT...OF BECOMING
A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

IF A TROPICAL STORM FORMS...TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS WOULD BE NEEDED
FOR PORTIONS OF THE LESSER ANTILLES AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LESSER ANTILLES AND
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES NORTHWESTWARD TO NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS SYSTEM...PLEASE MONITOR PRODUCTS
FROM YOUR LOCAL WEATHER OFFICE AND HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
