Tropical Update
An elongated low pressure system located near the northeastern coast of Nicaragua is producing widespread cloudiness and disorganized thunderstorms over much of the western Caribbean Sea. Further development, if any, should be slow to occur for the next couple of days due to interaction with the landmass of Central America. However, environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for some development to occur over the northwestern Caribbean Sea while the system moves slowly northward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (50%)
