Florida should brace for soggy week, but odds of tropical development are dropping, NHC says
[ad_1]
On the heels of Hurricane Helene’s devastating landfall in Florida, the National Hurricane Center is watching another system near the Gulf of Mexico that has the potential to impact the state.While the NHC was originally monitoring this area of interest for potential tropical development, officials said Thursday morning that those chances are going down. According to the NHC, a broad area of low pressure is likely to develop this weekend or next week over the Gulf of Mexico, but that system’s interaction with a frontal boundary is forecast to limit its subsequent tropical or subtropical development.While the system’s intensity is not expected to ramp up, the NHC says parts of Mexico and Florida are in for a soggy stretch next week. Rain coverage in Central Florida will be on the rise next week as this broad low moves through. The NHC says formation chances for this disturbance are very low, holding at 0% for the next 48 hours and just 30% in the next seven days — a decrease from recent advisories.This low is expected to move through the state right after Hurricane Helene slammed the Big Bend region as a monster Category 4 storm. Many Florida residents are still recovering from intense flooding, damaging storm surge and extreme wreckage from winds topping 140 mph. >> Chopper 2 video shows extensive Hurricane Helene damage in St. Pete Beach, Tampa Bay, Fort Myers>> Photos, videos show Helene’s eerie approach, intense impacts and devastating aftermath in FloridaAs the peak of hurricane season continues, the NHC is monitoring several systems, including Kirk and Leslie.
