NU Online News Service, Sept. 27, 2:30 p.m. EDT
Tropical Storm Matthew struck Central America twice over the weekend, but the good news for the U.S. is that the now unnamed storm system is not expected to reemerge into the Gulf of Mexico where it could intensify.
Late last week modelers said there was a chance the storm could make its way back into the Gulf, intensify due to warm sea surface temperatures and eventually strike the west coast of Florida.
The National Hurricane Center gives the storm system a 30 percent chance of again developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.
