A tropical depression couldn't wait until Saturday, the start of hurricane season to form. Located off the coast of Costa Rica the depression is expected to be a tropic storm within 24 hours.
The
storm is expected to approach the coast of Nicaragua. The storm is expected to bring heavy rains but not the strong winds associated with hurricanes.
