The season's second tropical depression could develop in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The hurricane center's Web site shows a tropical wave in the northwestern Caribbean sea that has a "medium, 30 to 50 percent chance" to develop into a tropical cyclone when it moves into the Gulf of Mexico tonight.
Heavy rains from the system are expected to affect portions of western and central Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the Yucatan Peninsula today and then move northward towards South Florida tomorrow and Monday.
Some long range forecast models show the system has the potential to bring heavy rains and gusty winds to Florida's west coast later in the week. If the system reaches tropical storm force strength, it will be named Ana.
