800 AM EDT Mon Jun 1 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A large area of disturbed weather, associated with the remnants of 
eastern Pacific Tropical Storm Amanda, is located over the Yucatan 
peninsula of Mexico.  This disturbance is forecast to move 
northwestward over the southeastern portion of the Bay of Campeche 
later today or tonight where environmental conditions are expected 
to be conducive to support development, and a new tropical 
depression is likely to form within within the next day or so.  The 
system is then forecast to drift west or west-southwest over the 
southern Bay of Campeche through the middle of the week.  Interests 
along the coast of the Bay of Campeche should monitor the progress 
of this disturbance.  Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, 
heavy rainfall is likely to continue over portions of southern 
Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, and western Honduras during 
the next few days. For additional information on the rainfall 
threat, see products from your national meteorological service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Today marks the first day of the Atlantic hurricane season, which
will run until November 30.  Long-term averages for the number of
named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes are 12, 6, and 3,
respectively.
