A low-pressure system could be forming between the northeastern tip on Honduras and the Cayman Islands, and it has a 50 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next two days, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Wednesday. Authorities, businesses, and residents in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and the southern Gulf of Mexico should monitor the progress of the system, which is expected to move northwest at 16 to 24 kilometers per hour, the Miami-based agency said. Meanwhile, a separate low-pressure system located a few hundred kilometers off the Cape Verde Islands in the Atlantic Ocean has a 60 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next two days, the NHC said.
