Tropical Storm Harvey is just north of the coast of Honduras, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The center of Tropical Storm Harvey is expected to move across the coast of Belize on this afternoon or evening. Some additional strengthening is forecast as Harvey approaches Belize.
Meanwhile, in the Atlantic Ocean, showers and thunderstorms have become better organized in association with a large tropical wave about 625 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for a tropical depression to form over the next couple of days. This system has a high chance, 60 percent, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves west at 20 mph.
Farther east, a large but disorganized low pressure system is centered about 100 miles southeast of the Cape Verde Islands. Although upper-level winds are favorable for some development, this system is expected to encounter a more stable environment with drier air by Sunday. This system has a medium chance, 40 percent, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves to the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
The National Weather Service recommends that the public keep an eye on the progress of this wave.
