The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical

low pressure area located about 300 miles south-southwest of 
Nantucket, Massachusetts has become better organized.  In addition, 
recent satellite wind data show that the circulation is becoming

of development, this system is expected to move east-northeastward 
well to the southeast of New England and to the south of the 
Canadian Maritime provinces.  Additional information can be found in
