Florida Storm Threat: 20% Chance of Tropical Formation | JQJO

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasts a potential tropical depression or storm to form near Florida by mid-to-late next week. A low-pressure area is expected to develop off the southeastern U.S. coast, with a 20% chance of becoming a named storm within seven days. Heavy rainfall is possible across parts of Florida and the southeastern U.S. coast regardless of development. The NHC's initial forecast predicted 13-19 named storms this season, but Colorado State University recently revised its prediction to a slightly less active season.
