Florida braces as system may become Tropical Storm Debby

A tropical wave over Cuba is projected to move into the southeast Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and become a tropical depression. The system has the potential to strengthen further into a tropical storm named "Debby" or even a minimal hurricane.

Tropical wave could be depression by weekend

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said a tropical disturbance over Hispaniola, known as Invest 97L, is highly likely to develop further over the next seven days and possibly become a tropical depression as early as this weekend. It's still too early to tell exactly where this tropical wave will end up, whether it will become Tropical Storm Debby, and whether it will stay in the Gulf of Mexico or if it will make landfall over Florida – and where.

Impact zone of tropical wave continues to shift

The National Hurricane Center has named a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic with a high chance of further development over the next seven days. Invest 97L could possibly become a tropical depression or storm as early as this weekend.
