Tropical Depression Nine forms in the Gulf of Mexico
Original: Tropical Depression Nine forms in Gulf and could become season’s first hurricane
Tropical Depression Nine has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, with forecasters warning it could strengthen into the Atlantic hurricane season's first hurricane. The development is drawing attention because the season has been unusually quiet so far, and a Gulf system would pose potential threats to coastal areas in Texas, Louisiana and Mexico depending on its track in the coming days.
Why now: The Gulf has been quiet this hurricane season, so a storm that could become the first hurricane is drawing widespread concern from coastal residents.
