...SPECIAL FEATURE...

MORNING CONVECTION HAS FLARED UP NEAR THE CENTER OF THIS SFC LOW 
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 28.4 NORTH...LONGITUDE 79.7 WEST AT 
11/1500Z...SUGGESTING THAT THE SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO ACQUIRE

DEVELOPMENT...THE SYSTEM IS OVER RELATIVELY WARM WATERS AND IS 
BEING MONITORED FOR ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF ORGANIZATION. 
CLUSTERS OF MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH 
THE REMNANTS OF ANDREA FROM 27N-29N BETWEEN 78W-80W.
