Tropical Depression Expected to Form in Southwestern Gulf of Mexico Mid-Week

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a trough of low pressure (Invest AL92) over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Gradual development is becoming more likely, with a tropical depression expected to form during the middle portion of the week. The system is forecast to drift eastward for the next couple of days before turning northward. Interests along the northern Gulf Coast should closely monitor its progress.
