Tropical Depression Three developed over the Bay of Campeche on Monday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Depression Three was located at latitude 19.6\u00b0N and longitude 91.2\u00b0W which put it about 55 miles (90 km) north-northeast of Carmen, Mexico.\u00a0 The depression was moving toward the west-northwest at 7 m.p.h. (11 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1007 mb.<\/p>\n
The government of Mexico issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the portion of the coast from Campeche to Puerto de Veracruz. \u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n The remnants of the center of circulation of former Tropical Storm Amanda moved northward across Honduras and emerged over the eastern Bay of Campeche on Monday afternoon.\u00a0 The National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Depression Three and initiated advisories on the system.<\/p>\n More thunderstorms began to form on the northern side of Tropical Depression Three after the center of circulation moved over the eastern Bay of Campeche.\u00a0 More thunderstorms were developing near the center.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms that included the remnants of the the circulation of former Tropical Storm Amanda were revolving around the center of the depression.<\/p>\n Tropical Depression Three will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 The depression will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 29\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the western side of an upper level ridge over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.\u00a0 The ridge will produce northerly winds which will blow toward the top of the depression.\u00a0 Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear, but the shear will not be strong enough to prevent intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Three is likely to intensify into a tropical storm on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Tropical Depression Three will move around the northern side of a larger counterclockwise circulation sometimes called a Central American Gyre (CAG).\u00a0 The CAG will steer the depression toward the west-northwest during the next 12 to 24 hours. \u00a0 The depression could move toward the southwest on Tuesday when it moves around the northwestern part of the CAG.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Depression Three could approach the coast around the southern Bay of Campeche. \u00a0 The depression could drop heavy rain over Campeche, Tabasco and eastern Veracruz.\u00a0 The heavy rain could cause flash floods in some locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tropical Depression Three developed over the Bay of Campeche on Monday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Depression Three was located at latitude 19.6\u00b0N and longitude 91.2\u00b0W which put it about 55 miles (90 km) north-northeast of Carmen, Mexico.\u00a0 The depression was moving toward the west-northwest at 7 m.p.h.
