Tropics On Close Watch

The National Hurricane Center is continuing to keep a close eye on a system in the Caribbean that forecasters say could impact Florida. While current models show disorganized showers and thunderstorms, environmental conditions may support development as the system moves northwest into the Gulf of Mexico. Although the likelihood of tropical depression formation remains low—at 0% in the next 48 hours and 40% over the next week—heavy rainfall is expected this weekend. It serves as a reminder that hurricane season continues, and all Floridians are urged to prepare for potential impacts.
