A stubborn storm in the Gulf of Mexico has a high chance of gaining enough strength to become a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours, weather experts said.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said there is a 60 percent chance of the storm becoming a tropical cyclone, as conditions are conducive for Tropical Depression Five to develop as it moves west and then northwest over the northern portion of the Gulf within the next day.
The storm is currently located about 60 miles southwest of Panama City, Fla.
