Low-pressure expected to lose strength due to winds: NOAA
In this regard, the National Hurricane Center (NHC, for its acronym in English), of the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reports that the low-pressure zone continues its journey towards the Lesser Antilles, although it does not expect that dissipate.
“High-level winds are expected to inhibit significant development as the system moves west-northwest over the next two days,” the organization reported in a statement.
The forecast for the next 48 hours and the next five days is a 10 percent probability of cyclonic development.
The governor of Quintana Roo, Carlos Joaquín González, shared the NHC forecast of NOAA and asked the population to keep abreast of the news in this regard through their official accounts.
