MEXICO CITY—Tropical Storm Harvey weakened into a depression as it moved through the Caribbean Sea yesterday on a projected course that would have it approaching Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula early this week.
The US National Hurricane Centre reported that Harvey was centred about 140 miles (225 kilometres) north-north-west of Curacao and was heading west at 22 mph (35 kph). The storm had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph). The centres said Harvey could regain its tropical storm status today.
It said heavy rains were possible last night over Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.
Another tropical storm, Kenneth, was far out in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico and moving away from land.
The hurricane centre said Kenneth was expected to strengthen somewhat during the next 48 hours and could become a hurricane.
