The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure in the western Caribbean that could develop into a tropical system this weekend. While it’s too early to determine if it will impact Florida, the system is expected to move north, potentially affecting the Gulf Coast next week. Current forecasts suggest a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. Florida residents, especially those along the Gulf Coast, are being reminded to remain vigilant and ensure their hurricane preparedness kits are up to date, as hurricane season continues.
