**Potential Tropical Cyclone Six forms in Gulf with tropical storm watch issued for Mexico**

**Possible Impacts**

The Gulf of Mexico’s disturbance has escalated into Potential Tropical Cyclone Six, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) issuing a tropical storm watch for the Yucatan Peninsula.

The system, projected to become Tropical Storm Franklin, could dump heavy rain across Mexico's eastern coast, posing a flood risk. Moreover, strong winds and coastal flooding may also impact the region.

**Forecast Track and Intensity**

The NHC anticipates the potential cyclone to move west-northwestward, gradually strengthening into a tropical storm by Tuesday.

The storm is likely to make landfall along Mexico's northeast coast by Wednesday, potentially bringing significant rainfall and wind to the region.

**Current Status and Movement**

As of Monday evening, Potential Tropical Cyclone Six was located about 300 miles east-southeast of Tuxpan, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.

The system is moving west-northwest at 14 mph and is forecast to continue on that track for the next several days.

**Residents should remain vigilant and follow updates from the NHC.**

Residents in the potentially affected areas of Mexico should closely monitor the progress of Potential Tropical Cyclone Six and adhere to any instructions issued by local officials.

**Preparation Measures**

To prepare for the potential storm:

• Have a hurricane preparedness plan in place.
