    At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Nine
    was located near latitude 23.6 North, longitude 84.3 West. The
    depression is moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn
    toward the west-northwest is forecast today, followed by a slow
    northwestward motion on Tuesday. A turn toward the north is
    expected Tuesday night. On the forecast track, the center of the
    depression will be passing north of the north coast of western Cuba
    today, and moving farther into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico
    tonight and Tuesday.

    Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
    Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and the
    depression is likely to become a tropical storm later today or
    tonight.

    12 inches possible through Wednesday. These rains could cause

    I have a friend in Key West that has been talking about the heavy rain for the last couple days. If this one strengthens, it could become pretty bad soon.

    Yup...in a developing La Nina, but still leftover warm waters from recent El Nino...a decent hurricane season should occur...busiest one in about 4-5 years.
