NHC issued its final advisory on Tropical Storm Hanna last night, as the low level circulation center of the system has dissipated. However, heavy rainfall remains a significant threat, and the remnants of Hanna could produce 3 to 5 inches of rain - with isolated maximum amounts of 9 inches - across Honduras and northern Nicaragua. These rains could produce flash flooding and mud slides. Elsewhere on this Tuesday morning, a tropical wave interacting with an upper-level trough continues to produce a large area of cloudiness and disorganized thunderstorms from the Lesser Antilles eastward over the Atlantic Ocean for several hundred miles. Since upper-level winds are expected to be marginally conducive, some gradual development of this disturbance is possible while it moves northwestward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph during the next few days. By the weekend, however, conditions are expected to become unfavorable for tropical cyclone formation. Regardless of development, this system will produce brief periods of gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall across portions of the Lesser Antilles through today.
