Storm Nadine: Track is still unlikely, may strengthen

There is a slight chance tropical storm Nadine will strengthen this weekend, with most forecasts showing the storm moving away from Florida.

The NHC is monitoring many systems, and the one known as AL94, which may now not strengthen into a named storm.

"Widespread showers and thunderstorms continue across the northwestern Caribbean Sea in association with a broad area of low pressure that is gradually becoming better defined to the north of eastern Honduras. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some additional development over the next day or so, and a short-lived tropical depression or storm could form before the system moves inland over Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Saturday."

"Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is likely across portions of Central America and southern Mexico through the weekend," the update continued. "It has a medium (50 percent) chance of formation in the next 48 hours and in the next 7 days."
