The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring a developing tropical disturbance, designated as Disturbance 1, located off the coast of Florida.
While the system is currently disorganized, forecasters predict it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression or storm as it moves across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Residents of Florida and other Gulf Coast states are advised to stay vigilant and prepared as the disturbance progresses.
While it’s too early to predict the exact track and intensity, current models suggest the system could bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surge to parts of the Gulf Coast later this week.
