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.
