Could the Gulf have yet another tropical storm soon?

It continued to look more likely as of Saturday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Forecasters said Tropical Depression 28 had formed on Saturday afternoon south of Cuba.

It could become Tropical Storm Zeta by Sunday and a hurricane by Tuesday, when it is expected to be in the southern Gulf.

Landfall could come anywhere from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle -- including Alabama’s coast -- on Wednesday. However, it is expected weaken before then to a tropical storm.

“Zeta? Did I sleep through every other greek alphabet letter storm since Delta?”

I don’t know nothing bout no Greek alphabet, but I think you did. I think the others either fizzled or we’re out in the Atlantic.

“zeta is the 6th greek letter”

Gee, thanks for that. I’m afraid some people might have taken my comment as a self deprecating joke.

“What’s the next one labelled?”

Is that a test question? As I posted earlier, I don’t know nothing bout no Greek alphabet, but I think it would be Eta. At least that’s what the internet says, and the internet never lies.

Omega is the final letter of the Greek alphabet.

Zeta is sixth...same position of the English letter “F”.
