In the tropics, we’re keeping a close eye on Tropical Depression # 26, which formed late Sunday in the central Caribbean.  At 5 am Monday, TD # 26 was located near 17.0 North, 78.2 West, about 255 miles southeast of Grand Cayman.  TD # 26 was moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour.  This system is forecast to become a tropical storm (Delta) later today and head into the Gulf of Mexico, with landfall likely along the northern Gulf coast late in the week.

We’re also watching Tropical Storm Gamma, which is lingering near the Yucatan.  At 5 am, Gamma was located near 22.7 North, 87.5 West, and was crawling west-southwest at 2 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour.
