TRACKING THE TROPICS: Hurricane Nana made landfall just after midnight in Belize. It will quickly weaken. Omar has weakened to a tropical depression in the open waters of the Atlantic. One tropical wave in the central Atlantic has a 30% chance of developing, but another wave that has just emerged off the coast of Africa now has a 70% chance of becoming our next tropical system.
