BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA– The National Hurricane Center in Miami is monitoring a large area of showers and thunderstorms located over the western Caribbean Sea just to the east of Nicaragua and northeastern Honduras is associated with a sharp surface trough.

This area of disturbed weather is forecast to move westward to northwestward over Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula during the next couple of days, and little development is expected during that time due to strong upper-level winds.

However, environmental conditions could become slightly more conducive for some development when the system moves into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by the end of the week.

Regardless of development, this disturbance will likely produce locally heavy rainfall across portions of Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and the Yucatan Peninsula through Thursday.

Storm formation chance is low over the next two days with a 10 percent chance, jumping slightly to 20 percent over the next five days.
