Gulf Storm Threatens Florida: What You Need to Know

Invest 93L, a disturbance in the western Caribbean, is expected to slowly develop over the weekend and potentially strengthen in the Gulf of Mexico by late Sunday or Monday. The storm will interact with land, keeping it weak and unorganized. By Wednesday, impacts could be felt in parts of Florida, although the strength and exact landfall location remain uncertain. Hurricane Hunters will investigate the storm and provide crucial data on its potential strength. Warm water temperatures and the presence of the loop current may fuel the storm's development. Dry air and slow organization may keep the storm on the weaker side.
