Tropical Depression EIGHT
The low pressure area near Tampico Mexico is expected to move inland
before becoming a tropical cyclone, but it is likely to bring 3 to 5
inches of rainfall and as much as 8 inches in the Mexican states of
Veracruz and Tamaulipas during the next few days. Heavy winds, near
tropical storm strength, are also expected which means that the area
should be prepared to take appropriate actions just as they would if the
tropical storm had already formed.
