Tropical Depression Forms in Atlantic
Published: 10/28/07, 2:25 AM EDT

MIAMI (AP) - The 16th tropical depression of the Atlantic hurricane season formed Saturday, prompting storm warnings in Haiti and a watch in Cuba.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the depression could bring 6 to 10 inches of rain to Hispaniola and slightly more rain to Jamaica and southeastern Cuba. If the depression becomes a tropical storm it would be named 'Noel.'

A tropical storm warning was in effect for the southwestern peninsula of Haiti from the Haiti-Dominican Republic border westward to Port-au-Prince, meaning tropical storm conditions are expected within the next 24 hours.

The government of Cuba also issued a tropical storm watch for the provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo, meaning tropical storm conditions are possible, generally within 36 hours.

At 2 a.m., the storm was located about 185 miles south-southeast of Port-au-Prince, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was moving west-northwest near 7 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph.
