What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A low-pressure area in the southwestern Gulf, dubbed Invest 92L, is likely to become a tropical depression in the next day or so, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters state there is a 90% chance of the formation within the next two days, and if it becomes a named storm, it would be Isaias. The disturbance could bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the western Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
