Storm in the Gulf

A new storm formed south of Cuba early Tuesday and is moving into the Gulf of Mexico. Still a tropical depression, the storm was located between the western tip of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula at mid-day Wednesday moving west-northwest. Winds were 30 miles per hour with central pressure at 1008 milibars. The storm is expected to impact the coast of Texas by the weekend. Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico are favorable for storm development.
