Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency for more than 60 counties as Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine, which is expected to strengthen and become a hurricane, treks toward the Florida Peninsula this week.

Given Florida’s distinctive coastline, its topography makes it particularly vulnerable to storm surge flooding during hurricanes and other significant storm systems. 

A potential disturbance in the Caribbean Sea is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center to see if it develops into a tropical system on its way toward the Gulf of Mexico.

By late Wednesday evening, Francine had been downgraded to a tropical storm, but the threat of flooding and tornadoes loomed.

Francine strengthened to become a Category 1 hurricane Tuesday night in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Six formed in the Gulf of Mexico late Sunday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are monitoring four tropical disturbances swirling in the Atlantic Basin, including a newly designated Invest 99L off the U.S. East Coast and Invest 90L off the Gulf Coast.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking multiple tropical waves – two in the Atlantic Ocean, and another in the Gulf of Mexico.

The chances for tropical development of a disturbance in the Atlantic have increased, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Two tropical disturbances have formed in the Atlantic Ocean and are being tracked by the National Hurricane Center for potential development.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring a tropical disturbance for possible development over the Labor Day weekend or early next week. This comes as we are entering the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. 

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves, officials said in the Tropical Weather Discussion on Thursday – one of which could develop as early as next week, according to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four tropical waves as we near the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Hurricane Ernesto is expected to produce strong winds, a dangerous storm surge, and life-threatening flooding across Bermuda as it approaches later Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Ernesto is expected to remain a "powerful" storm as it moves near Bermuda, forecasters said.

Tropical Storm Ernesto is expected to strengthen over the next few days as it leaves the Caribbean. The NHC said in its forecast discussion that this area has conducive environmental conditions for development. It could intensify into a hurricane.

The FOX 35 Storm Team is tracking a rare summer cold front that could steer Tropical Storm Ernesto away from Florida.

Tropical Storm Ernesto, the fifth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, officially formed in the Atlantic on Monday afternoon.
