1. Satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that a broad
area of low pressure is forming over the Bay of Campeche.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional gradual
development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely
to form by midweek while it moves slowly westward or
west-northwestward toward the western Gulf coast.

Regardless of development, several days of heavy rainfall are
expected across portions of southern Mexico and Central America, and
these rains are likely to cause life-threatening flooding and flash
flooding. Locally heavy rainfall is also expected to spread over
portions of the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Mexico by the
middle of the week. In addition, gale warnings have been issued for
portions of the Gulf of Mexico, and more information on those
warnings is available in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service. Interests along the western and northwestern Gulf
coasts should monitor the progress of this system. An Air Force
Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the
system later today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. Southwestern Atlantic Ocean:
An area of cloudiness and thunderstorms located several hundred
miles east of the Bahamas is associated with a surface trough and
an upper-level area of low pressure. Environmental conditions
could be conducive for some development of this system during the
next few days while it moves westward or west-northwestward. The
system is forecast to approach the coast of the southeast United
States on Thursday or Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

What a tool.
Jamaica can use a good storm to give the slums a cleaning.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_hurricane_season :

The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year, from June 1 through November 30, when tropical or subtropical cyclones are most likely to form in the North Atlantic Ocean. These dates, adopted by convention, encompass the period in each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the basin. ...

I'm pretty sure this phenomenon has been occurring for far more centuries than humans living in the Caribbean have been keeping records.

To be fair, I hope Jamaica isn't hit by a massive weather system that would kill hundreds if not thousands.

I just hope Malaise is killed by a Jamaican street thug after she learns that she has cancer of the AIDS of the rectum.

What a stupid MoFo. They are worried about some bad weather, and we have an extinct volcano in Wyoming that could erupt in the future since it is years late in having the next big one. The last time it erupted it change not only the climate around here but the ecology as well. At the time of the last eruption this part of North America (Iowa-Nebraska) was more like Kenya if the Natural History Museum in Lincon Nebraska is to be believed.
