HOUSTON (KIAH) – An area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico is likely to organize before reaching South Texas Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center suggests this low could become a tropical depression or low-end tropical storm. Tropical storm watches and warnings may be issued in South Texas at some point Monday. Tropical depression vs tropical storm: The difference between a tropical depression and tropical storm has to do with the intensity of the wind. A depression has maximum sustained winds below 39 mph.
