There is a 50% chance that the tropical wave which just passed over us and is in the Bay of Campeche will become a tropical storm in the next 24 hours. This system poses no threat to the Bay Islands or North Coast of Honduras. Else where tropical storm formation is not expected in the next 24 hours.
