(WDNews) – The Weather Forecast Office in Tallahassee, Florida, has issued a tropical weather outlook, warning of a potential tropical depression likely to form this weekend over the Straits of Florida or the eastern Gulf. With a 90 percent chance of formation, the system is projected to make landfall between Apalachicola and Tampa on Sunday and move northeastward.
If this trajectory holds, Alabama will experience minimal impacts outside of increased rip currents along the coast, and Florida might be spared from severe rainfall. However, there’s still a chance the system could take a more westward track, altering potential impacts.
Residents are advised to:
– Monitor the system’s progress: Keep up with updates and forecasts as the situation evolves.
– Review hurricane preparedness plans: Coastal areas could experience impacts as early as Sunday, so ensure you have a plan in place.
– Consider flood vulnerabilities: Assess and prepare for potential flooding, especially if you are in a low-lying area.
