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. It is important to review storm plans as development, strengthening, and potential landfall could occur within a 48-hour period from Monday to Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Bret Threatens Lesser Antilles and Gulf Coast with Flooding.

Tropical Storm Bret is a threat to the Lesser Antilles in the coming days, while another disturbance called Invest 93L is being watched for development. This is unusual for June, as most June storms develop in the Gulf of Mexico or off the East Coast. Ocean warmth is providing fuel for these storms, with water temperatures in the proximity of the systems 2 to 5 degrees above average. Bret is expected to strengthen as it tracks west-northwest, but should weaken as it enters the eastern Caribbean. Invest 93L is likely to become a tropical depression or storm as it continues moving westward, but is no immediate threat to land.
