In the tropics, the low we’ve been watching is now centered inland over Nicaragua.  This will impede any development until it eventually moves northwestward into the Bay of Campeche. The National Hurricane Center now gives this feature a low chance of developing during the next five days.  However, it will still bring heavy rain to portions of Central America and Mexico.
