A surface trough located over the central Gulf of Mexico is producing an area of showers and thunderstorms that extends several hundred miles south of the coast of Louisiana. Environmental conditions do not appear conducive for development, and there is a low chance, near 0 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves west-southwestward at 20 to 25 mph.
A broad area of low pressure located just east of the coast of Nicaragua is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms across the central and southwestern Caribbean Sea. Strong upper-level winds are expected to diminish over the next couple of days, and there is a low chance, 20 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Elsewhere, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours
