Four new Storms Form in Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico; Could Become hurricanes

An area of disturbed weather in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Mexico could strengthen into a tropical storm by the end of this week and become the second named storm of the season, Bonnie.

On Monday the National Weather Service reported that to make it to tropical storm status the storm would need to work its way up to cyclone force. While forecasters are predicting the storm will stay off the coast of Mexico, they warn it could turn and head into the Gulf of Mexico.

Officials with BP are already trying to get the Gulf oil spill clean up efforts going again after Hurricane Alex put a halt to the clean up.

The area of low pressure was reported to be moving northwestward at about 10 to 15 miles per hour had a "medium chance" of becoming a tropical storm in the next 48 hours, according to The National Weather Service.

The system is likely to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the area near the Yucatan Peninsula over the next day or two.

In another area of the Gulf of Mexico, just off the coast of Morgan City, Louisiana another storm with Tropical-like winds had a high chance of becoming a cyclone before it made landfall. Officials said the system moved quickly over land and died out before it could become a tropical storm.

Another system is approaching two sides of Florida, one off the eastern coast near Volusia and Flagler Counties and the other running along the bottom of the state in Key West. The storm along Key West was not developed very well and forecasters expect it to break up when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
