FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Ian Cassette has the forecast.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Potential Tropical Cyclone Four is in the Gulf of Mexico and forecasters say it could become our next named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on a second system for possible development.
On Saturday, Potential Tropical Cyclone Four is expected to reach the coast of northeastern Mexico and then move across the Rio Grande Valley through Sunday. Development chances are high at 70-percent.
"The disturbance could still strengthen slightly and become a tropical storm today before reaching the coast of northeastern," the NHC said.
