<p>The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning, June 27, it is monitoring a system in the Atlantic basin that could produce heavy rains over portions of Central America.</p>
<p>Hurricane center forecasters said an area of "disorganized showers and thunderstorms" currently over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the adjacent land areas is forecast to move west-northwestward into the Bay of Campeche Saturday or Saturday night, where an area of low pressure could form.</p>
<p>"Subsequent development is possible on Sunday or Monday if the system remains offshore of the coast of Mexico," the hurricane center Friday morning. However, regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible over portions of Belize, Guatemala, and southeastern Mexico during the next few days.</p>
<p>The hurricane center gives the system a 20% chance of development through the next seven days.</p>
<p>System in Pacific expected to strengthen into tropical depression in coming days</p>
<p>Meanwhile in the Pacific, the hurricane center said it is continuing to monitor a system, currently labeled as EP95, it expects to become a tropical depression soon.</p>
<p>Hurricane center forecasters said Friday morning that showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec "have changed little overnight and remain disorganized."</p>
<p>The NHC said environmental conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression is "expected to form by late this weekend or early next week" as the system moves west-northwestward off the coast of southern Mexico.</p>
<p>The system has a 50% chance of formation through the next 48 hours and a 90% chance of formation through the next seven days.</p>

<p>How do hurricanes form?</p>
<p>Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression.</p>
<p>A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reaches 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane.</p>
<p>Prepare now for hurricanes</p>
<p>Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends.</p>
<p>Prepare now for hurricanes: Here's what you should do to stay safe before a storm arrives</p>
<p>Develop an evacuation plan: If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there.</p>
<p>Assemble disaster supplies: Whether you're evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy aftermath, NOAA said.</p>
<p>Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions: Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance check-up to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and/or belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for it. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent, or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.</p>
<p>Create a family communication plan: NOAA said to take the time now to write down your hurricane plan, and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places, and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation.</p>
<p>Strengthen your home: Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricane impacts. Trim trees; install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and/or impact glass; seal outside wall openings.</p>
