Tropical Storm Nadine Forms in Caribbean

Tropical Storm Nadine has formed in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, becoming the 14th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season and is expected to make landfall in Belize on Saturday. Heavy rain is anticipated as it moves inland, with tropical storm warnings issued for regions from Belize City to the Mexican border and Tulum, Mexico. The National Hurricane Center reports a 50% chance of another low-pressure system developing into a tropical storm or depression, potentially impacting Central America and southern Mexico with heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, a separate system in the central tropical Atlantic has a 30% chance of development in the next two days and 60% over the next week as it moves toward the Leeward Islands. This system, however, faces unfavorable upper-level winds that could hinder further development. Overall, these developments highlight the active and ongoing nature of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
