Tropical Storm Nadine has formed out in the Caribbean.
The storm is currently about 75 miles off the coast of Belize and is expected to move west, into Guatemala and southern Mexico.
Nadine is not expected to impact the U.S.
Forecasters say there's a second disturbance out in the north Atlantic east of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and it now has a 60 percent chance of turning into a tropical depression later in the day.
Near the Southeastern Bahamas (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms are becoming better organized with a small area of low pressure located less than a couple hundred miles north of the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. In addition, recently received passive microwave imagery also suggests that a well-defined surface circulation could be developing. If these trends continue, a tropical depression or storm could form as soon as later today as the system moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph. On this track, the system should pass north of Hispaniola today, and move near the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, and extreme eastern Cuba on Sunday. Interests in these locations should monitor the progress of this system.
- Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
