Forecasters monitor Tropical Depression in Gulf of Mexico

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are monitoring a Tropical Depression in the Gulf of Mexico.

As of this morning, the Tropical Depression was located about 270 miles West of Fort Myers, Florida.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.

The system is forecast to weaken later today and tonight, and it is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low on Saturday.

Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with localized higher amounts up to 5 inches are possible through Saturday across portions of the central and southern Florida Peninsula.

 This rainfall is not directly related to Tropical Depression Two. 

Regardless, the heavy rainfall could lead to isolated flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts.
