Good morning.
I am writing about a well defined tropical system currently just south of Hispaniola which will likely become Tropical Storm Earl later today or tomorrow. The NHC is giving it a 70% chance of development within the next 48 hr. Winds of gale force are already present. In reviewing data this morning it appears to be headed towards the Yucatan Peninsula and likely will not make a US landfall. The NHC models are currently centered on Belize, however I would anticipate a landfall along the North - Central Yucatan coast. Unless things change I do not anticipate the need to write further about this system.
My best to all,
Matt.
