Weather Watch: SW Gulf Storm Brewing

Something's brewing in the Southwest Gulf of Mexico. Meteorologists are keeping a close eye on a new tropical depression that formed early Saturday morning. They're calling it Tropical Depression Fourteen for now, but it's expected to strengthen and could become a hurricane by midweek. The forecast shows it might hit the west coast of Florida. This isn't just one event; it's more like a double whammy. First, expect lots of rain starting Sunday. It could flood some areas. Parts of Southwest Florida might get up to 7 inches of rain over the next week. So, it's time to prepare. Clear your drains and gutters on Saturday while it's quiet. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic Ocean, there are two named storms, Kirk and Leslie. Don't worry, they won't bother us. They're heading north over cooler waters. The NBC2 First Alert Hurricane Team will keep you updated throughout the weekend.
