Hurricane center gives high odds Gulf of Mexico system headed to Florida will develop
Odds are now high that a system developing in the Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression or storm before it makes its way to Florida next week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
As of the NHC’s 8 p.m. tropical outlook, forecasters are looking at a broad area of low pressure in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico with disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
“Gradual development of this system is expected, and a tropical or subtropical depression or storm is likely to form late this weekend or early next week while the system moves eastward or northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico,” forecasters said. “Interests in the Florida Peninsula and the Florida Keys should monitor the progress of this system.”
If it becomes powerful enough, it could form into Tropical Storm Milton.
