FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The disturbance churning near the southeastern Gulf of Mexico has the potential to do what hasn’t been done in two years.
The remnants of what was Hurricane Agatha in the Pacific are highly likely to form into a tropical depression or potentially the Atlantic’s first named storm of 2022 this week in the Gulf of Mexico.
Storms don’t often cross over from one basin to another, and it’s more uncommon that one crosses from the Pacific into the Atlantic, said AccuWeather meteorologist Jake Sojda. That’s what could happen with the disturbance now near the Yucatan Peninsula.
