Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, November 05, 2009.

However, an area of low pressure in the Caribbean will remain under close watch as it has medium potential for tropical storm development. The system will continue spinning in the southwestern Caribbean, off the northeastern coasts of Panama. Atmospheric conditions are favorable for strengthening, thus, it will trigger locally heavy rains over Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. Dangerous surf and strong winds will also affect the coastal regions of these countries.

Meanwhile to the north, a strong frontal boundary will affect the Gulf of Mexico again on Thursday as it stretches into the region from a system over the Eastern US. The front will extend along the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and wrap back around westward, lingering over eastern Mexico. Moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms will pop up along this front as ample Gulf moisture continues to feed the system. In the east, the Greater and Lesser Antilles will see pleasant weather with mostly sunny skies and warm conditions.
