Tropical Update

A well-defined area over the northwest Caribbean Sea is expected to develop within the next several days. Conditions are forecast to be conducive for development and a tropical depression could form over the weekend as the system meanders between Belize, the Yucatan Peninsula, and Cuba. Further development is expected to be less favorable if the system moves over the Yucatan Peninsula. Still, the region is preparing the locally heavy rain and flash flooding.

* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (40%)

* Formation chance through 5 days: High (80%)

Another tropical wave located east of the Lesser Antilles is forecast to move west during the next several days where environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for development over the central or western Caribbean Sea by early next week. It's expected to move west at 15 to 20 mph.

* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (0%)

* Formation chance through 5 days: Low (30%)
