TWO is stepping up the language this evening -

SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD BE FORMING ABOUT 130 MILES EAST OF PUERTO
CABEZAS...NICARAGUA. ALTHOUGH UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION...THE DISTURBANCE IS MOVING SLOWLY
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD CENTRAL AMERICA AND STRENGTHENING SHOULD
BE LIMITED DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO LAND. EVEN IF TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION DOES NOT OCCUR...BANDS OF HEAVY SQUALLS WITH GUSTY WINDS
WILL SPREAD OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN HONDURAS AND NICARAGUA
TONIGHT...AND THE WEATHER WILL LIKELY WORSEN IN THESE AREAS ON
SUNDAY. THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODS AND
MUD SLIDES. INTERESTS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA SHOULD
CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AND BE READY TO TAKE
QUICK ACTIONS...IF NECESSARY.
