EYE ON THE TROPICS JUNE 15, 2017 1115 AM EDT

Monitoring the northwest Caribbean and the Yucatan for development this weekend.  Showers and storms have increased in the GOH (Gulf of Honduras) and some of this will eventually track northwest toward the northwest Caribbean aiding in the development of low pressure.  Upper level conditions have become more favorable in the Gulf of Mexico for tropical development.  Chances for development have increase to 50% during the next 5 days per NHC.

The tropical wave southwest of the Cape Verde Islands still has a 10% chance for development during the next 48 hrs. and a 20% chance during the next 5 days
