(CNN) A tropical depression east of Mexico strengthened Sunday morning into Tropical Storm Zeta and could reach the US Gulf Coast by midweek.

Zeta could be at or near hurricane strength when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Wednesday, and could bring storm surge, rainfall, and wind impacts to areas from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle.

It is the 27th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season, tying 2005 as the most active hurricane season on record, according to the National Weather Service.

Be safe, All!

3. The sad thing is

that this appears to be aiming for the same spots that already got hit with Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Sally, and Hurricane Delta.

And I was reading my local NWS AFD this afternoon and we in the Philly area are expected to get some of that precip (depending on the track) sometime around Thursday or so, when the moisture gets sucked up here to the mid-atlantic along a front.

4. Oh no!

Those poor people!

Sorry to hear your area will be affected.

I'm sure we will get after effects, too. Stay safe & dry!

Hopefully, the last of the season!

5. The "season" goes until the end of November so there is potentially plenty of time for more.
