Tropical Storm Gamma has formed in the western Caribbean Sea. Satellite measurements estimate maximum sustained winds increased to 40mph. Gamma is moving northwest at 9mph.

A cold front moving into the Gulf of Mexico and strong east to west steering winds aloft should keep it well south of the local area through the middle of next week.
