The second month of the hurricane season is starting with the second named storm of the year.
Tropical Storm Bonnie developed today.
The National Hurricane Center says the system is headed for the area near the Nicaragua/Costa Rica border moving toward the west near 18 mph.
"On the forecast track, the system will move across the southwestern Caribbean Sea today, cross southern Nicaragua or northern Costa Rica tonight, and emerge over the eastern Pacific Ocean on Saturday."
Maximum sustained winds were near 40 mph with higher gusts this morning.
"Strengthening is forecast today while the system approaches the coast of Central America. Some weakening is expected tonight while the system crosses Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but restrengthening is anticipated Saturday through Monday while it
moves over the Pacific Ocean."
The only other feature on the tropics map is in the Atlantic with just a 10% chance of development.
