A tropical depression formed in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday with projections indicating it will move into the Gulf of Mexico in the coming days.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the depression should move slowly northwestward across or near the eastern portions of Nicaragua and Honduras on Thursday, move into the northwestern Caribbean Sea by Friday, and emerge over the southern Gulf of Mexico by Saturday.
If the depression strengthens into hurricane it'll be the ninth of the season and possibly the third to strike the United States.
