The National Hurricane Center thinks a tropical depression could form in the Gulf in a few days. Forecasters continued to track an area of low pressure that was in the western Atlantic Ocean just east of the Florida peninsula on Tuesday. It is expected to move westward, across the Sunshine State, and into the Gulf by Wednesday.

There’s growing concern a potential tropical system could bring significant flooding to the Gulf Coast, but questions remain in the forecast.

There could be trouble in the tropics as an area of low pressure off the east coast of Florida becomes an area of interest for tropical development this week.
