   Projected path of Tropical Storm Hermine

   Parts  of  northeastern  Mexico  and southern Texas are under tropical
   storm  warnings  as  the  eighth  named storm of the season approaches
   their coastlines.
   Tropical  Storm  Hermine  is  expected to make landfall early Tuesday,
   dropping  10 to 20 centimeters of rain that could trigger flash floods
   and mudslides.  Storm warnings are in effect from Tampico, Mexico, to
   Baffin Bay on the south Texas coast.
   Forecasters  say the storm is currently several hundred kilometers off
   the  coast  in  the  Gulf of Mexico.  The forecast track indicates it
   could enter central Texas by Wednesday or Thursday.
   Hermine is not expected to affect oil-drilling operations in the Gulf.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
