Eastern Caribbean Sea (AL96):
A fast-moving tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea
is producing some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
Development, if any, of this system should be slow to occur while it
moves quickly westward to west-northwestward at 20 to 25 mph across
the Caribbean Sea through this weekend. The system is forecast to
cross the Yucatan Peninsula and enter the southwestern Gulf of
Mexico by early next week where some development could occur. Gusty
winds and locally heavy rainfall are possible across portions of the
Greater Antilles over the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
