Tropics forecast: 1st Tropical Depression of the Season
The first tropical depression of the season in the Western Hemisphere is happening right now. But Florida can relax. Tropical Depression #1E has formed in the eastern Pacific, and it is no threat to Florida, or any land for that matter. It will likely become Tropical Storm Amanda before gradually falling apart over open water, more than 1,000 miles southeast of Hawaii. Meanwhile, the Atlantic remains quiet. There is a weak low in the Gulf that may help bring heavy rain to parts of the Central Gulf Coast, but development is unlikely. So, no alarm bells here. Just the first sign that tropical season is waking up.
