NEW YORK, USA (Reuters): The low-pressure system in the eastern Caribbean Sea north of Curacao and Aruba could become a tropical depression during the next day or two as it moves toward the oil producing US Gulf Coast over the next several days, the US National Hurricane Center said Friday.
Most weather models predict the system will cross the Caribbean, hit Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, and reach the northern Gulf of Mexico in about five days.
It is too soon to tell where the system will make landfall, but the models point to a possible hit somewhere between Texas and Louisiana.
If the system manages to strengthen into a tropical storm, with winds of 39 to 73 mph, the NHC will name it Cristobal. . | | | | Reads : 319 | | | |
