Two Atlantic Low-Pressure Systems Prompt Quintana Roo Alerts

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Two low-pressure systems moving through the central Atlantic Ocean have prompted Quintana Roo’s civil protection agency to activate its alerts as officials track their potential for tropical development.

Data released Sunday morning by the National Water Commission (Conagua) and the state’s Civil Protection Coordination (COEPROC) shows the first system, located several hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, has no chance of cyclonic formation in the next 48 hours but a 20% probability over the next seven days. Forecasters expect upper-level winds to become less favorable as the system approaches the Lesser Antilles.

The second system is associated with a tropical wave expected to move off Africa’s western coast Tuesday. It also has no development chance in the next 48 hours, but its seven-day potential rises to 40%. Officials said the system could form a tropical depression in the second half of the week as it moves toward the western Caribbean.

Governor Mara Lezama said on social media that authorities are monitoring both systems and urged residents to rely on official information channels. Neither system currently poses a threat to Quintana Roo’s coastline, according to officials, who said they are coordinating with the National Meteorological Service (SMN) on continuous monitoring.
