97L
is still located a several hundred miles east of the Windward
Islands. Its status has not changed significantly in the last 24
hours. It is still moving WNW. Development...if any...will be slow to
occur. This system has a low chance...near 10 percent...of becoming
a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Interests
in the Bay Islands and on the north coast of Honduras should continue
to monitor both these systems.
Else
where, tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 24
hours.
