This system is expected to move west-northwestward across the Yucatan Peninsula into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. Some slow development is possible during the couple of days. After that time, the low is expected to encounter a cold front, which would make additional development unlikely. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent A large area of cloudiness and showers near the Leeward Islands extending eastward for several hundred miles is associated with the interaction of an upper-level trough and a tropical wave. Although upper-level winds are forecast to be too strong for development over the next couple of days, heavy rain is possible in the Leeward Islands while the system moves through the area. By late in the weekend, when the system is forecast to be near or north of Puerto Rico, environmental conditions are forecast to become more favorable, and some development of the disturbance is possible early next week while it moves northwestward. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent $$ Forecaster Blake
