Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami say a broad area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico appears to be getting better organized.
Tropical storm watches or warnings may be required for the Northern Gulf Coast later this weekend.
This system has high chance (90%) of becoming Tropical Storm Debby as it moves slowly northward during the next 48 hours. Residents of the Florida Peninsula -- including the Tampa Bay Area -- can expect periods of heavy rain this weekend.
