What's left of the short-lived Tropical Storm Colin is still hanging around just east of the Leeward Islands and zipping to the west-northwest at more than 20 mph.
Colin was beset with hostile winds in the atmosphere that shredded the small storm.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center give the remains of Colin only a 20 percent chance of regaining tropical storm or depression status by the end of the work week, though the showers and thunderstorms inside the disturbance did become a bit better organized overnight.
Track models still project the remains to turn to the northwest and curve into the Atlantic Ocean without threatening land.
The hurricane center is no longer issuing advisories on Colin, though a hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to fly into the storm today.
The center also is looking at tropical wave in the southern portion of the Caribbean Sea that has some chance for development, though forecasters give it only a 20 percent possibility of forming a storm or depression by Friday.
It is south of Hispaniola and moving west at about 20 mph. Track forecasts have the wave heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula.
Most of the intensity models have the wave reaching tropical storm strength and gaining power until Sunday and then losing strength, about the time the track models have it moving over land.
