DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Fourteen was located near latitude 14.9 North, longitude 82.2 West.
The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22
km/h), and this general motion is forecast to continue through
Friday morning. A turn toward the northwest with a decrease in
forward speed is expected by Friday afternoon and continuing through
at least Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of the system
will move near or just offshore the coasts of northern Nicaragua and
northeastern Honduras, including the Bay Islands, on Friday and
approach the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on
Saturday. The center is then expected to cross the Yucatan
Peninsula Saturday night and move into the south-central Gulf of
Mexico on Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and the
depression is expected to become a tropical storm on Friday. The
system is forecast to be near or at hurricane strength when it
reaches the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico late Saturday.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).

eastern Yucatan coast within the warning area by Saturday afternoon,

Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the coasts of
northeastern Honduras and northern Nicaragua within the warning
area later tonight and early Friday, making outside preparations
difficult or dangerous. These conditions will spread westward along
