ORLANDO, Fla. — Things are turning active once again in the tropics as Potential Tropical Cyclone Six has been declared in the Bay of Campeche.

The system is organizing off the coast of Mexico and is expected to be a tropical storm on Monday.

Tropical Storm Watches are posted for parts of the east coast of Mexico. Additional watches are possible for south Texas tonight.

The complex is expected to intensify into a hurricane Wednesday, then making landfall along the northern Gulf coast Wednesday PM.

The cyclone will stay west of Florida.

Watching Two More Areas
