At 16/18Z, Invest 93L was located near 14.6N 83.7W or just off the extreme east coast of Honduras/Nicaragua with winds of 20 knots and movement to the west northwest at 15 knots. Central pressure was 1009MB and SSTs were 29C. Although the system may move over land later today, it could eventually emerge in the southern Bay of Campeche and has assigned a Medium chance for additional development into a tropical cyclone by Tuesday afternoon. Heavy rains with associated flooding are likely over portions of Central America for the next few days.

There are a lot of "ifs" that I can see with this system. If it survives while crossing the Yucatan. If it actually enters the Bay of Campeche. If conditions remain favorable for development, etc. Not saying that it can't or won't develop; just that the odds are mostly stacked against it for now.
