An area of investigation in the western Caribbean Sea was noted by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on September 26. As gradual development ensued, a broad low then formed in the western Caribbean which produced disorganized showers and thunderstorms, before degenerating into an open trough two days later. The disturbance then interacted with the remnants of Tropical Depression Eleven-E in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and a stationary front, and consolidated in the Bay of Campeche. By October 4, it showed more signs of development, thus becoming designated as Invest 92L. The next day, as associated showers and thunderstorms organized further, 92L was promptly upgraded by the NHC into Tropical Depression Fourteen.


Impact

The outer bands of Milton were expected to bring heavy rainfall to the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Nuevo Leon, Hidalgo, and San Luis Potosi.
