Centro Nacional de Huracanes del SNM Miami FL
700 AM EST miércoles 13 de noviembre de 2024

Corregido para agregar información sobre los pronósticos de alta mar
y los avisos de tormentas.

Para el Atlántico Norte...Mar Caribe y el Golfo de México:

Mar Caribe Central y Occidental (AL99): Una amplia área de baja
presión sobre el Mar Caribe central continúa produciendo una gran
área de aguaceros y tormentas eléctricas. Las condiciones
ambientales son propicias para el desarrollo, y es probable que se
forme una depresión tropical en los próximos dos días mientras el
sistema se mueve lentamente hacia el oeste hacia el Mar Caribe
occidental. Después, es probable que se desarrolle aún más mientras
la perturbación serpentea sobre el Mar Caribe occidental durante el
fin de semana. Se espera que el sistema gire lentamente hacia el
noroeste a principios de la próxima semana. Los intereses a través
del Mar Caribe occidental y noroeste deben monitorear el progreso de
este sistema. Independientemente del desarrollo, se esperan fuertes
lluvias sobre Jamaica durante el próximo día. Para más información
sobre este sistema, incluidos los avisos de galerna, vea los
pronósticos de alta mar emitidos por el Servicio Nacional de
Meteorología. Un avión de la Fuerza Aérea Huracán Hunter investigará
este sistema más tarde hoy.
* Probabilidad de formación hasta 48 horas...alta...90 por ciento.
* Probabilidad de formación hasta 7 días...alta...90 por ciento.
