NBC News Update: Tropical Storm Ingrid was nearing hurricane strength Saturday morning and forecast to become a hurricane by the end of the day, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Tropical depression Ten, located about 165 miles east-northeast of Veracruz, Mexico, is expected to produce isolated amounts of rain in areas of mountainous terrain, likely resulting in life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an update.

A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Gulf of Mexico from Coatzacoalcos to Barra de Nautla, with wind and tropical storm conditions expected to first reach the coast within the warning area by Friday, it said.
