The system is expected to move across the Yucatan peninsula later today and into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by late tomorrow. The National Weather Service says that environmental conditions could support slow development of this system during the next few days while it moves generally northwestward.
If the system does form into a tropical storm, the next name on the list of the 2015 Atlantic Hurricane Names is Bill.
