A low pressure system heading for the Gulf of Mexico has an 80 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression this week, the National Hurricane Center said in its Thursday morning forecast (May 24).
The system called Invest 90L is gradually becoming better defined, forecasters said, and is expected to bring heavy rains to the Gulf Coast during Memorial Day weekend. Rip currents also are a threat from Louisiana to Florida.
A tropical depression is likely to form by late Saturday over the southeast Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said. If it strengthens to a tropical storm, it will be called Alberto. The storm categories, in increasing order of strength, are tropical depression, tropical storm and hurricane.
As of 7 a.m. Thursday, the center of the low pressure system was over the southeast Yucatan Peninsula. It is producing showers and thunderstorms, along with strong gusty winds, in the northwestern Caribbean Sea.
