.UPDATE...THE TROPICAL WAVE APPEARS TO HAVE CROSSED THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS IN THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS. VIGOROUS PRECIPITATION NOW CONTINUES IN BANDS OF A V FORM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WAVE OVER THE CARIBBEAN. PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS INCREASED TO 2.38 INCHES SO THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST. RADAR CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THERE IS NO CLOSED CIRCULATION SO WILL NOT EXPECT DEVELOPMENT INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVERNIGHT.
