gradually become more conducive for development, and a tropical

Jamaica, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and the Yucatan peninsula
should monitor the progress of this disturbance.

An area of low pressure is located a few hundred miles east of
Jacksonville, Florida. This system has gradually gotten better
organized during the past 24 hours but is currently producing only
limited showers and thunderstorms. Additional development is
expected and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle
of the week while the system moves northeastward or
east-northeastward, initially parallel to the southeastern coast of
the U.S. and then away from land. Upper-level winds are expected to
become less conducive for further development on Wednesday.
