00:00A stormy twist could be brewing in the Gulf this week.
00:03The National Hurricane Center is closely watching a cluster of storms off Florida's coast.
00:08As they move westward and hit the hot waters of the Gulf, they might gain strength fast.
00:13There's a small but real chance we could see a tropical depression or even a tropical
00:17storm form soon.
00:18And if it does happen, the next named storm will be called Dexter.
00:22But whether Dexter shows up or not, things are already heating up across North Florida.
00:27The Panhandle and surrounding areas should brace for heavy showers and thunderstorms.
00:31This isn't your usual summer afternoon storm pattern.
00:34We're talking about an uptick in rain and instability across the region by mid to late week.
00:39The system moving west will stir the atmosphere and boost the storm chances even more.
00:44The National Weather Service is keeping a close eye and so should you.
00:47Stay alert, stay informed, and be ready for any updates on this potential tropical twist
00:52in the Gulf.
