The associated shower and thunderstorm activity has also increased within the past few hours. If this activity were to continue, a short-lived tropical depression could form later today or this evening while the system moves west-northwestward to northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
There is currently a 70% chance of development and could become the ninth named storm of the season, taking on the name . . .
