Airforce Recon Data is in: Special Update For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Seas and Gulf of Mexico. (4:15 PM EDT / 3:15 PM CDT Update) Invest 93L has Tropical Storm Force Winds but needs more Thunderstorms near the Center. STATEMENT/DISCUSSION: 1. A Hurricane Hunter aircraft has continued to investigate the low pressure system located about 500 miles east of the Windward Islands.

Interests in the Lesser Antilles should continue to monitor the progress of this disturbance as it moves west-northwestward near 20 mph, and watches or warnings may be required for some of these islands later tonight or Friday. TIMING OF DEVELOPMENT: * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.
