TD 13 Forms.. Headed to Mexico



That mass of convection hanging down around the Yucatan finally formed into something official in the Bay of Campeche.

Here's the official word and it is forecasted to possibly become Marco if it follows the forecast.

"AT 1000 AM CDT...1500Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION THIRTEEN
WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 19.0 NORTH...LONGITUDE 94.1 WEST OR ABOUT
140 MILES...220 KM...EAST OF VERACRUZ MEXICO.

THE DEPRESSION IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 10 MPH...AND
THIS GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
ON THE FORECAST TRACK...THE CENTER WILL BE APPROACHING THE COAST OF
MEXICO LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 35 MPH...55 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SOME STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24
HOURS...AND THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BECOME A TROPICAL STORM PRIOR
TO LANDFALL."

Not sure it will get a name but probably. It's small but it's viable and definitely got a tight little circulation.

Headed towards Mexico... no doubt about it..
