Paloma Continues to Strengthen

Hurricane Paloma will likely become a strong category 2 or even a category 3 major hurricane before making landfall in central Cuba.  Strong westerlies in the southeast U.S. will steer Paloma south and east of the U.S. mainland, taking the storm over the Bahamas, and then into the open waters of the Atlantic.

New Tropical Depression

Tropical depression #17 has developed off the coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras this afternoon, and will likely strengthen over the next several days. Conditions appear favorable for this disturbance to become a hurricane while moving north-northeast. If so, it would be called Paloma.
