Tropical Storm Watches are up for the coast of Northeastern Mexico just south of the Texas border as a tropical disturbance located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico’s Bay of Campeche heads toward an expected landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border on Wednesday. Further watches and warnings can be expected to be issued for portions of the Texas and Louisiana coast on Monday. The National Hurricane Center, or NHC, christened the disturbance Potential Tropical Cyclone 6, or PTC 6, at 5 p.m. EDT Sunday. The PTC designation is used for systems that could bring tropical storm or hurricane conditions to land areas within 48 hours but that are not yet tropical cyclones.
