Disturbance in the Caribbean could become a depression or a tropical storm in the coming hours.

The disturbance identified as AL95, located in the western Caribbean, is generating widespread rains and thunderstorms in that region, with environmental conditions that appear favorable for its development in the next 48 hours.

The system has shown better definition in recent hours, and the current atmospheric conditions favor the possibility of it becoming a tropical depression or a short-duration storm before making landfall in Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico this Saturday.

The probability of formation, both in a 48-hour period and in seven days, is now 70 percent, according to the latest report from the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

However, beyond its development, this system is likely to cause heavy local rains in parts of Central America and southern Mexico over the weekend.

Although a storm or tropical depression has not officially formed yet, the broad area of low pressure is already affecting the region with heavy rain.

Belize, the Yucatán Peninsula, and countries in Central America could experience local flooding, and residents are urged to stay alert for possible weather advisories issued by local authorities.

Also under monitoring: Low pressure trough north of Puerto Rico (AL94)

At the same time, another disturbance is being monitored in the North Atlantic, north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Although that system shows few possibilities for development due to unfavorable winds at higher levels, it continues to be monitored as it moves quickly to the west-northwest, the NHC specified.

In this case, the probability of formation over a period of 48 hours as well as seven days is low, only 20 percent.

Both systems require monitoring, although AL95 has a higher likelihood of development in the coming days.
