MIAMI (AP) - The hurricane season's 20th tropical depression formed in the western Caribbean Sea on Saturday, prompting the Mexican government to issue tropical storm warnings for the Yucatan Peninsula, forecasters said.
At 11 a.m. EDT, the depression was located about 125 miles east-southeast of Tulum, Mexico, and about 110 miles southeast of Cozumel, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The system had sustained winds of 30 mph, and was moving to the west-northwest near 6 mph.
The storm could become a named tropical storm, with winds above 39 mph, before it makes its expected landfall on the eastern Yucatan later Saturday or Sunday.
