Rina continues to be the main story in the tropics. This system rapidly became a hurricane yesterday and is now at category 2 status with 100 mph max sustained winds. This system may intensify further to become a major hurricane (category 3 or higher) over the next couple of days. All indications are this storm will impact much of the Eastern Yucatan in MX beginning on Thursday morning. Interests elsewhere in Cuba and South FL should monitor the progress of Rina just in case, as there is considerable spread in long term forecasts.
Elsewhere in the tropics Invest 97L continues in the South-Central Caribbean Sea. This disturbance is showing some better signs of development (30% chance within 48 hours), and conditions are becoming a little more favorable. This system will continue west-northwestward.
