Another trough extends from the low southward to the central Dominican Republic. Scattered to numerous and thunderstorms are presently north of 19N between 63W and 68W and from 25N to 29N between 68W and 73W. Another low is expected to form along the trough about halfway between Bermuda and Hispaniola today.
