On the forecast track, the center is forecast to be near the coast of the southern Bay of Campeche tonight through Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow strengthening is expected during the next couple of days, and the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later today. When that occurs, it will be named Cristobal (pronounced krees-TOH-bahl). A U.S. Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system later this morning.
