.SYNOPSIS...A tropical depression or storm is expected to form
later today or tomorrow in the Caribbean Sea. This system is
forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Currently,

It could bring dangerous impacts from storm surge, wind, and 
heavy rainfall to portions of the coasts of Louisiana, Texas, and
the Mexican state of Tamaulipas late this weekend and early next
