An area of low pressure located inland over northeastern Nicaragua is accompanied by a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. Additional development is unlikely Thursday.
The hurricane center said the system has a 10% chance of development over the next two days and a 20% chance of development over the next five days.
The system will not impact Florida as a large area of high pressure will block it even if it tries to develop.
