..RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INDICATES THAT TROPICAL
DEPRESSION THREE IS CONTINUING TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED...
..TROPICAL STORM WARNING ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA...

AT 630 PM CDT...2330Z...THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO HAS ISSUED A
TROPICAL STORM WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF THE EAST COAST OF THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA FROM PUNTA ALLEN SOUTHWARD TO CHETUMAL...
INCLUDING THE BANCO CHINCORRO ISLANDS.

SHORTLY BEFORE 6 PM CDT...AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE
AIRCRAFT INDICATED THAT THE CENTRAL PRESSURE HAD DROPPED TO 1007 MB
AND THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAD INCREASED NEAR THE CENTER OF
CIRCULATION. IN ADDITION...THE CENTER OF THE DEPRESSION HAS
REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST 3 HOURS. THIS MEANS THAT
THE CYCLONE WILL BE OVER WARM WATER A LITTLE LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED...WHICH MAY ALLOW IT TO REACH TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH
BEFORE IT MAKES LANDFALL LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY SUNDAY.

Sitting still... that most times is not good. Maybe a change of plans in the future?
