Caribbean Storm Likely to Become Tropical Depression, Threatens Gulf
A tropical depression is expected to form in the Caribbean Sea and reach the Gulf of Mexico early next week, with forecasters warning of dangerous winds and seas. The system has a 90% chance of developing in the next two days and could bring heavy rains to Jamaica. If it becomes a named storm, it will be called Sara, marking the 18th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Meanwhile, remnants of Rafael are merging with a cold front in the Gulf, bringing drier conditions to Louisiana.
