A tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean gathered into Tropical Depression 6 (TD6) late last day and further strengthening was likely, the US National Hurricane Centre said in its latest advisory.
At about 2200 GMT, TD6 was located about 180 miles (295 kilometres) east-south-east of the Windward Islands, moving west at 16 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. The hurricane centre said TD6 could become Tropical Storm Felix, the Atlantic hurricane season's sixth named storm, by Saturday.
The current forecast track for the system shows it moving across the southern Caribbean, then making landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula by Wednesday afternoon as a minimal category 1 hurricane with winds of about 85 mph.
