Storms begin to lurk in the gulf and Atlantic
By TIMES WIRES
Published August 14, 2007
The hurricane season began in earnest Monday as forecasters began watching two tropical systems, one in the southeast Atlantic Ocean and the other in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. A tropical depression in the Atlantic, though still 1,780 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, is expected to become Tropical Storm Dean today and a hurricane by Friday. Its projected path has it east of Puerto Rico late Saturday. A second low-pressure area in the Yucatan peninsula could become a depression today. It is projected to move northwesterly toward the western Gulf of Mexico.
