Story Highlights

Could become a hurricane shortly before hitting land near Tampico sometime late Sunday or early Monday
Tropical Storm Ingrid lashed Mexico's Gulf Coast with heavy rains on Friday
State officials imposed an orange alert, the highest possible, in parts of southern Veracruz

Tropical Storm Ingrid, which formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico on Friday morning, is bringing heavy rains and flooding to Mexico's Gulf Coast.
Ingrid could become a hurricane shortly before hitting land near the Gulf coast port city of Tampico sometime late Sunday or early Monday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
It is the ninth named storm of the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. So far, eight of the nine named storms have been tropical storms, with only one hurricane (Humberto).
Early Friday, Ingrid had winds of 60 mph and entered about 60 miles east of Veracruz, Mexico. The storm was stationary.
The greatest impacts from Ingrid will likely be heavy rainfall, flash flooding and mudslides in eastern Mexico, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
A wide swath of eastern Mexico near and inland of the Gulf Coast has the potential to pick up 10 to 15 inches of rainfall, with isolated amounts over 25 inches, AP reported.
The flooding could be "life-threatening," according to the hurricane center. State officials imposed an orange alert, the highest possible, in parts of southern Veracruz.
At least three major rivers in the eastern state of Veracruz were flooding or close to overflowing their banks and hundreds of people were evacuating low-lying areas, AP reported.
The storm could also bring needed rainfall farther north along the Mexico coast and perhaps as far north as South Texas, depending on its track, AccuWeather reports. "Any reasonable rainfall will be welcomed by many residential and agricultural interests over the Rio Grande Valley," Sosnowski says.
There are now three active, named systems in the Atlantic basin. Ingrid joins Tropical Storm Humberto and Tropical Depression Gabrielle, which are both spinning in the open Atlantic Ocean and are expected to continue to weaken on Friday.
