    The chances of a tropical depression developing in the Atlantic Ocean have increased, but the system is not currently expected to impact the United States, according to the National Hurricane Center.

    The hurricane center is currently monitoring two systems in the Atlantic Ocean, including one in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, which is currently designated Invest 95L.

    The system is associated with a “broad area of ​​low pressure” bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms to the area. The system is “progressively better defined in the north of eastern Honduras,” the NHC said in an advisory Friday morning.

    Environmental conditions appear conducive to some additional development over the next two days, and a “short-lived” tropical depression or storm could form before the system moves inland over Belize and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday, forecasters said. The NHC gives this system a 50 percent chance of formation in the next 48 hours.

    “Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall will occur over parts of Central America and southern Mexico this weekend,” the NHC said Friday.

    Invest 94L is not expected to develop further

    The NHC also tracks an “ill-defined trough of low pressure” producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms extending from the northern Leeward Islands a few hundred miles northward across adjacent Atlantic waters.

    The development of this system, if any, should “occur slowly” as it moves westward to west-northwestward. It will pass near or just north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Friday and then near Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas on Saturday.

    The system, currently designated Invest 94L, is not expected to develop further due to strong upper-level winds, the NHC said Friday. The hurricane center gives the system only a 10 percent chance of forming in the next 48 hours.

    The next named storms of the season are Nadine and Oscar.
