Tropical Storm Hanna formed late Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico, about 385 miles east, southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas.
The formation of Hanna came as Tropical Storm Gonzalo continued to move across the Atlantic about 730 miles east of the southern Windward Islands.
Forecasters said Gonzalo had maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. A U.S. National Hurricane Center advisory said the storm was heading west at 14 mph. Tropical-storm-force winds extended outward up to 25 miles from the center. The Hurricane Center said that those in the Windward Islands should monitor the storm as it is expected to approach the islands late Friday and Saturday. As some strengthening is forecast, there is still a chance that Gonzalo could become a hurricane, but the storm is expected to weaken as it moves into the Caribbean Sea.
A hurricane watch has been issued for Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A tropical storm watch is in effect for Tobago and Grenada. The highest threat for flash flooding from Hanna's rains will be right along the coast, and a more marginal threat farther inland.
