Tropical Storm Watch for Gulf

MIAMI (AP) - A tropical storm watch was issued late Tuesday for parts of Texas and Mexico as a tropical depression formed in the central Gulf of Mexico.

The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm watch for the Texas coast from Freeport southward. The government of Mexico has issued a tropical storm watch for the northwest coast of Mexico from Rio San Fernando northward.

A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours.
