A turn toward the west-northwest and some acceleration is forecast late Wednesday. The west-northwestward motion is forecast to continue at least through Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Douglas could become a hurricane tonight or early Wednesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center. >>> An area of low pressure is forecast to form well south of the southern coast of Mexico and portions of Central America later this week. Gradual development of this system will be possible over the weekend while it moves generally west-northwestward. * Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent * Formation chance through 5 days…low…30 percent

South Indian Ocean

There are no active tropical cyclones According to the JTWC, there’s a tropical disturbance, being referred to as Invest 92S, located approximately 730 NM west-northwest of Diego Garcia. Satellite imagery shows a broad low level circulation obscured by disorganized, fragmented deep convection. 92S is currently in an unfavorable environment with ill-defined upper level outflow and high >25 knot wind shear…and over warm sea surface temperatures. Global models are in good agreement that 92S will track southwestward with gradual intensification. Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 15-20 knots The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours remains low.
