Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure centered off eastern Honduras is gradually becoming better organized. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some additional development over the next couple of days. A short-lived tropical depression or storm could form before the system moves inland over Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Sat. Farther north, fresh to strong winds and rough seas follow a stationary front over the Yucatan Channel. This front will dissipate through today ahead of the developing low pressure. Meanwhile, fresh to strong winds, rough seas and scattered thunderstorms accompany a trough moving westward to the north of the Leeward Islands this morning. Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish across the basin early next week. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TODAY...NE winds 10 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft. .TONIGHT...NE winds 15 to 25 kt.
