Tropical Storm Watch: Two Disturbances Brewing in the Caribbean

Tropical Storm Pilar is expected to bring a flood threat to Central America as it moves through the Caribbean Sea. Another area of disturbed weather in the western Caribbean Sea may develop into a tropical storm and pose a threat to parts of Central America as well. The warm waters and low wind shear in the region increase the chances of tropical development. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Pilar in the Eastern Pacific Ocean could bring heavy rainfall to Central America before moving away. November is still an active month for hurricane activity, particularly in the western Caribbean Sea.

Three popular campgrounds in Yosemite National Park will be temporarily closed due to a forecast of flooding as warming temperatures melt the Sierra Nevada's massive snowpack. The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the area until at least Friday. The park officials said that the Lower and North Pines Campgrounds and the Housekeeping Camp will be shut over fears that waterways could overspill their banks.
