For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane 
Iota, located inland over Nicaragua.

A broad area of low pressure could form in a couple of days over the 
southwestern Caribbean Sea.  Environmental conditions are forecast 
to be conducive for slow development, and a tropical depression 
could form by the weekend while the system moves slowly westward or 
west-southwestward across the southwestern Caribbean Sea.  
Regardless of development, areas of heavy rain are possible during 
the next several days from Nicaragua southward across Central 
America and into Colombia.  These rains could cause new flooding 
concerns, especially across previously inundated areas.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
