This rainy weather has now been named "Invest 91L" by the NHC, but still isn't expected to develop as it approaches and passes over the Yucatan Peninsula, where its main path is to our south. There is a small chance (20%) that it could develop after passes the Yucatan & enters the Gulf, bringing a rainy Father's Day weekend to some US coastal cities. Here's a quick US forecast in English with video from Cancun: LINK
The forecast & graphic from the NHC 2a EDT (1am EST/'Isla time') & at 8a EDT/7a EST are identical & report:
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the western Caribbean Sea are associated with a weak surface trough. This activity is forecast to move westward to northwestward over Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula during the next couple of days with no significant development. Environmental conditions could become slightly more conducive for some development if the system moves into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by the end of the week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
Regarding other weather out in the Caribbean, the NHC reports:
A tropical wave is over the E Caribbean along 67W south of 18N,
moving west at 10-15 kt. Strong wind shear in the region and
Saharan dry air in the wave environment hinder deep convection at
the time.
A tropical wave is over the W Caribbean along 85W south of 20N,
moving west at 10-15 kt. Scattered showers are W of 82W.
Elsewhere, scattered moderate convection is inland from S Guatemala to
Panama.
An upper-level trough extends across the NW Caribbean with axis
along 87W. Diffluent flow east of this trough is enhancing
convection over the W Caribbean and central Cuba. A large upper-
level ridge is over the remainder of the Caribbean with axis along
72W.
A tropical wave will move west across the western
Caribbean through Wed night with a surface low developing along
the wave axis. A second tropical wave across the east Caribbean
will pass through the central Caribbean on Thu and Fri. A third
tropical wave will pass west through the tropical waters east of
windwards on Wed, and pass through the east Caribbean on Thu and
Fri. Strong trades currently across the south-central and
southwest Caribbean will spread north across the central
Caribbean on Wed and Thu, while fresh to locally strong southeast
pulses will continue across the northwest Caribbean. Locally
strong trades will continue across the tropical waters east of
the Windwards through late Wed.

City Council candidate for the PRI party, Rosely ("Chely") Danilú Magaña Martínez, died Monday night as a result of gunshot wounds she received on Saturday afternoon, when activist Lizbeth Pasos Sarabia was also injured. The attack occurred at a political meeting with her team at Ms. Magana's home in a colonia on the mainland area of the Isla Mujeres municipality.
It had been reported that although the bullets didn't hit any vital organs, the prognosis was reserved and she was in intensive care. After the attack on Saturday, she was admitted to "Jesus Kumate" General Hospital in Cancun, and on Sunday she was transferred to Galenia hospital, with some improvement reported. Unfortunately, at 11:45 pm on Monday, she passed away as a result of complications from bullet wounds to her chest.
PRI party activist Lizbeth Noemi Pasos Sarabia, who suffered leg
injuries in the same attack, is totally out of danger, according to Isla
Mujeres mayoral candidate for the PRI party, Juan Carrillo Soberanis.
Political leaders, candidates and others have expressed their concern
about this violence and their sympathy to family, friends, and other
islanders. The funeral will be private. An investigation is ongoing.

New Marinsa ferries expected to begin operations on Thursday LINK
June 12 A spokesperson for the Marinsa company said the two new ferries are expected to begin operation on Thursday, and they are currently waiting for authorization from the Port Authority to conduct docking tests. The two boats arrived yesterday (Monday) from Progreso. Although it was originally thought that these boats would replace the two larger boats, but today the company said they they will be increasing service on this route. It was confirmed that the two ferries once belonged to the Magana company, who operated boats on the Isla Mujeres-Puerto Juarez route for more than 45 years, although now they are using the concrete dock, where docking tests will be conducted.
