Tropical Depression 25 has developed into Tropical Storm Gamma following a lull in the busy 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, according to reports. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported on Saturday morning that Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall that could result in life-threatening floods over portions of Mexico, with a tropical storm warning in effect for the Yucatan Peninsula through Sunday. Gamma is the 24th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic season. Colorado State University hurricane research scientist Phil Klotzbach said that CSU is calling for above-normal Atlantic hurricane activity in the forecast for the next two weeks. Based on 1981-to-2010 data, that is 12 named storms, six hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.
