National Hurricane Center issues advisories in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico regions

National Hurricane Center issues advisories
A graphic of the two-day tropical weather outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Two, located several hundred miles east-southeast of the southern Windward Islands.
 
• Formation chance through 48 hours…high…90 percent.
 
• Formation chance through 5 days…high…90 percent.
 
Meanwhile, a broad area of low pressure extending from the Yucatan Peninsula across adjacent portions of the southeastern Gulf of Mexico continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms along with winds to gale force several hundred miles east and northeast of the estimated center.
 
While the low still lacks a well-defined center of circulation, gradual development is expected today through Tuesday while it moves across the southern and central Gulf of Mexico, and a tropical or subtropical cyclone is likely to form.
 
Regardless of development, heavy rains are expected to continue over portions of Central America, the Yucatan Peninsula, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba during the next day or two.
