Tallahassee, FL – A tropical disturbance in the northwest Caribbean could develop into a storm, potentially impacting Florida’s Gulf Coast by Thursday or Friday. With a 70% chance of formation over the next seven days, residents should act now to prepare. Emergency kits should be checked and updated to ensure readiness.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Tallahassee, while it’s too early to predict the storm’s exact path, impacts like heavy rain and strong winds could arrive by late this week. The I-10 corridor could face hazardous conditions if the storm progresses, increasing the risk of road closures or delays. Residents should avoid unnecessary travel and ensure vehicles are fueled.
The NWS advises monitoring updates closely throughout the week and recommends stocking up on essentials like water, food, and batteries. Weather experts also urge residents to have a plan in case of power outages or flooding.
Monday’s weather is expected to be clear with temperatures nearing 90°F. However, rain chances will increase by midweek as the storm system approaches.
