The Tropical Weather Outlook

Tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.

The monsoon trough of low pressure persists over Central America. Flow around this system continues to pull moisture in from the western Caribbean Sea and allows for thunderstorms to persist from Panama to the Yucatan.

A tropical wave is in the Caribbean along 69W/70W, S of 21N and is moving W at 15-20 kt.
