Gulf system shows 80% chance of tropical depression formation

A weather system in the Gulf of Mexico is showing increasing signs of development, with the National Hurricane Center raising its probability of forming into a tropical depression to 80%. Forecasters anticipate gradual development, likely resulting in a tropical depression by Monday. Residents along the northern Gulf Coast, from Florida to Louisiana, are advised to monitor the system's progress as it is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the region over the next several days. If the system strengthens to tropical storm status, it would be named Bertha. AI
