Tropical depression could cause rough waters on South Texas beaches

COASTAL BEND — The National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on tropical depression No. 2, which is expected to move inland over southern Belize Monday afternoon.

As of Monday morning, the National Weather Service reported winds of 35 mph and the fast moving storm (13 mph). The depression is expected to reform in the Bay of Campeche Tuesday. When it does, the depression could strengthen into a tropical storm and would be given the name Barry.

Most forecast models show the storm continuing from the Bay of Campeche into northeastern Mexico, more than 100 miles south of the Texas border. If the depression strengthens into a tropical storm, the beaches along South Texas would likely see an increase risk of rip currents and wave heights increasing to six feet starting Wednesday.
