Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to form by late Thursday or early Friday while the system moves west-northwestward near or just offshore the coast of southern Mexico. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

A low pressure system that the National Hurricane Center has been tracking the past few days has now moved inland over southern Belize and eastern Guatemala. Due to land interaction, tropical cyclone formation associated with this system is no longer expected in the Atlantic basin. The southern portion of this disturbance is forecast to move into the eastern North Pacific by this evening. Gusty winds will still be possible over portions of Belize and the eastern Yucatan Peninsula this afternoon and early evening. In addition, locally heavy rainfall, which could cause flash flooding, is possible across portions of Central America during the next couple of days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.
