HOUSTON—There's some trouble brewing in the tropics. 11 News Meteoroligist Mario Gomez is keeping tabs on the tropical wave over the Western Caribbean.

The tropical wave is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms from Cuba and the Cayman Islands southwestward to Honduras.

"There is a weak circulation center that is soaking the Caribbeans. For anyone vacationing there, it is going to be a soggy day." said Gomez.

Gomez said there is a 50 percent chance of seeing some development into a named storm in the next 48 hours.

There is no significant development expected before the wave reaches the Yucatan Peninsula, but conditions are forecast to become a little more favorable once it moves into the Gulf of Mexico late Saturday or Sunday.
