As of this morning the situation in the tropics remains relatively unchanged. Rina remains a category 2 hurricane on a path for the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Max sustained winds are at 110 mph and this system is expected to reach category 3 status later today (major hurricane). Conditions will likely begin deteriorating today in some locations and direct impacts are expected through Friday. In the long term interests in Cuba and FL still need to monitor this system.
Meanwhile a disturbance remains in the Caribbean Sea, but is much less likely to develop compared to this time yesterday. This system was formerly known as Invest 97L but has since lost that status.
