ORLANDO, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center continued tracking what it’s calling Potential Tropical Cyclone Four in the Gulf of Mexico warning it could form into the season’s next tropical storm on Saturday while also keeping an eye on a new potential system in the Atlantic.
As of 8 p.m., the Gulf system was located about 95 miles south-southwest of the mouth of the Rio Grande River with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph heading northwest at 14 mph.
“Tropical storm conditions are expected to occur in the warning area during the next several hours,” NHC forecasters said in the public advisory. If it strengthens into a tropical storm, it would be named Tropical Storm Danielle.
