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.

The National Hurricane Center said July 15 it is continuing to track a system off the coast of Florida that could soon become a tropical depression.
