The Tropical Weather Outlook
This morning, a tropical wave, the remnants of TD7, are along 82W/85W moving W at 15 to 20 kt. The wave will continue to move through the Western Caribbean on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then, it will move inland and W of the area on Wednesday night. It has a 20% chance of strengthening.
All interests in the Bay Islands should continue to monitor this system as it tracks west towards us.
Invest 93L is not a threat to us. The NHC now gives this system a 20% chance of further development in the next 48 hours.
Else where, tropical storm formation is not expected today.
