Alma was a tropical storm a couple of days ago.  It has been downgraded into a depression.  It did dump a lot of rain over Central America, especially over Nicaragua.  Sometimes tropical storms can do as much damage as a hurricane due to flooding.  Tropical Storm Gaston showed us that a couple of years ago as it brought flooding rain to Richmond.  

Alma was a Pacific storm.  However, a piece of that remnant low may sit over the western Caribbean and turn into something over the next several days.  We'll monitor.
