This Monday, June 23, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas in the Tropical Weather Outlook.

Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL90):
Satellite images indicate that disorganized showers and thunderstorms are displaced to the east of an area of low pressure located about 600 miles east of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are still marginally favorable for further development, and an increase in thunderstorm activity could result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression today. By Tuesday, this system is expected to encounter less favorable environmental conditions, ending its opportunity for development. The system is forecast to move northeastward around 10 mph, remaining over the open central Atlantic. It has a high (70 percent) chance of formation in the next 7 days.

Offshore of Central America and Southern Mexico:
A broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms is located a few hundred miles offshore of Central America. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form by late this week or over the weekend while the system moves slowly west-northwestward
off the coast of southern Mexico. Locally heavy rainfall is possible across portions of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala through the early part of this week. It has a high (70 percent) chance of formation in the next 7 days.

An upper-level pattern will bring chances for heavy rainfall for the next few days. The 5-Day QPF highlights that the heaviest rainfall will accumulate over the Midwest and portions of west Texas and New Mexico. Flash flooding may be possible, take proper precautions!
