Low in Gulf no longer concern

Not that forecasters at the National Hurricane Center were overly worried about it, but they are no longer watching an area of low pressure that hovered in the western end of the Caribbean Sea this week.

The hurricane center gave it a low probability, which means 30 percent or less, of turning into anything tropical. Still, in June, tropical storms that form are likely to emerge from the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico.

The low pressure area is now dumping rain over parts of Central America, especially Nicaragua.

So for the next two days, forecasters don’t expect anything to form in the tropics.
