That tropical depression in the Caribbean is bearing down on the Cayman Islands, but the tropical storm watch for South Florida and the Keys is being dropped. <br>
<br>
Tropical Depression Fourteen is now centered about 130 miles southwest of Grand Cayman Island. Movement is to the northeast at a rather poky five miles an hour. That's expected to increase, though some erratic motion is possible. <br>
<br>
Top sustained winds are still at about 35 miles an hour. But forecasters say the depression could reach tropical storm strength later Tuesday. There's a tropical storm warning in effect for parts of Cuba, while a tropical storm watch covers the central and northwestern Bahamas. <br>
<br>
Depression centered at latitude 17.9 north, longitude 82.7 west.
