MIAMI (November 6, 2009)—Tropical Depression Ida was in the northwestern Caribbean Friday and expected to gain strength.

Friday afternoon, Ida was about 65 miles northwest of Cabo Gracias A Dios on the border between Nicaragua and Honduras and was moving north at about 8 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of about 35 miles per hour.

A turn toward the north-northwest is expected Saturday and Ida should approach Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula late Sunday.

Ida should again become a tropical storm sometime Saturday.
