PassingIn the tropics, the wave that’s bringing us tropical moisture has a low chance of developing as it hangs around during the next two days. It has a medium chance of developing beyond that, as it moves to the northeast and away from us. The remnants of Harvey aren’t expected to regain depression strength over Central America and the Yucatan. But the system has a high chance of redeveloping in a day or two as it emerges in the Bay of Campeche.
