800 AM EDT MON OCT 6 2008
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN BAY OF CAMPECHE ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH A SMALL LOW PRESSURE AREA.  THE LOW IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS AND SOME
DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT MOVES INLAND OVER MAINLAND MEXICO
TONIGHT OR TUESDAY.  REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES ARE POSSIBLE
OVER COASTAL REGIONS OF SOUTHERN MEXICO NEAR THE THE BAY OF
CAMPECHE.  THESE CONDITIONS COULD SPREAD WESTWARD OVER THE NEXT DAY
OR TWO. 
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE FAR EASTERN ATLANTIC
ABOUT 400 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.  SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED DUE TO UNFAVORABLE
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. 
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

REGIONAL RED TIDE SUMMARIES (October 3, 2008)  

East Region:  No Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was detected this week in water samples collected from Daytona Beach (Volusia County), the Mosquito Lagoon (Brevard County), the Indian River Lagoon (Brevard County) and Palm Beach Inlet (Palm Beach County).

Northwest Region:   No Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, was detected this week in water samples collected offshore of Panama City (Bay County) and south of the St. Marks River (Wakulla County). A research cruise conducted by Florida State University, around St. George Island and offshore of Dog Island (Franklin County), also found no K. brevis.

Southwest Region:  Very low concentrations of Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism, were detected this week in water samples collected at Tarpon Beach and Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island (Lee County). No impacts have been reported. In Sarasota County, background concentrations of K. brevis were detected near New Pass. All other water samples collected alongshore between Pinellas and Collier counties contained no K. brevis. A research cruise currently being conducted has found no K. brevis offshore between Manatee and Lee counties.

The FWRI Red Tide Status Line is now available to callers to hear a recording detailing red tide conditions throughout the state. FWRI updates the recording each Friday by 5 p.m. after sampling efforts for the week have been completed and analyzed. Red Tide Status Line: (866) 300-9399 (toll-free inside Florida only); (727) 552-2448 (outside Florida).

Interruption of service for new Raster Navigational Charts and RNC updates

NOAA provides free, Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs) and free weekly RNC updates via the NOAA web site and through certified redistributors. For a limited period beginning June 15, 2008, RNCs will not be updated for either Notices to Mariners or for new editions of the nautical charts. This temporary interruption of service is due to a change in RNC production systems. Full RNC service will resume when reliable production is restored. In the interim, continuously updated NOAA Print on Demand charts (not free), traditional printed charts, and free Electronic Navigational Charts and updates (http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/index.htm) will continue to be available.
